Booking during the season
Symptoms tend to arrive suddenly, and appointments fill quickly from late spring. Same-day and next-day slots are usually available. If nothing suitable shows online, call 0186 556 0485.

For hay fever severe enough that antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays are not controlling it. We are on Beaumont Street in central Oxford, opposite the Ashmolean and beside the Randolph, around ten minutes from the station. Same-day appointments are usually available through the season.

As soon as symptoms begin, typically between March and July. A single injection usually lasts 8 to 12 weeks, and some effects can last up to 6 months.
Oxford sits in the Thames Valley surrounded by farmland and meadow, so grass pollen counts run high through June and July. Exam season and peak grass pollen overlap, which is why students make up a large share of hay fever appointments here.

We do decline people, and the assessment is what the £75 covers, whether or not you go ahead.


Your doctor reviews your symptoms, what you have already tried and how you took it, your medical history and your current medicines. A surprising number of people have not had a fair trial of the basics, and fixing that is often quicker, cheaper and safer than an injection.
If the injection is appropriate, it is given as a single intramuscular injection, usually into the buttock, and takes a few minutes. You can leave straight afterwards.
Side effects reported commonly are headache and temporary sleep disturbance. Because this is a systemic corticosteroid, it can also affect mood and blood sugar, and repeated injections season after season carry more concern than a single one. Your doctor will go through this with you.
Same-day slots are usually available through the season.

Usually yes. Same-day appointments are generally available through the season. If nothing suitable appears online, call 0186 556 0485.
Oxford station is about ten minutes on foot, and Gloucester Green coach station is closer. Central Oxford parking is heavily restricted, so park and ride is usually easier.
Typically 8 to 12 weeks, and some effects can last up to 6 months. For many people, that covers the worst of the season.
Yes, and taken properly. Many people have used an antihistamine occasionally or a nasal spray with the wrong technique, and correcting that works often enough to be worth trying first.
Not during pregnancy. With diabetes, it can raise your blood sugar, so it needs a proper discussion and is often not the right choice.
We will say so and explain what would help instead. The £75 covers the consultation either way.

Oxford sits in the Thames Valley surrounded by farmland and meadow, so grass pollen counts run high through June and July. Exam season and peak grass pollen overlap, which is why students are a large share of hay fever appointments here. As a rule, come as soon as symptoms begin rather than waiting to see whether they settle.
It is a licensed medicine, but the NHS stopped offering it routinely for hay fever. The reason is that it is a systemic steroid given for a condition that is not dangerous and usually responds to other treatment. Your doctor will go through that with you before you decide.
No. We offer this to adults aged 18 and over only.
Repeat injections season after season carry more concern than a single one, because of the cumulative effects of systemic steroids. That is a conversation to have with your doctor rather than a booking to make automatically.
Yes, at all ten. Oxford is listed here; the others are below.
Same day appointments through the season at Beaumont Street. £75 including the consultation, with an honest assessment of whether the injection is the right answer for you.
