Lipids and cholesterol

The Royal Free Lipid Clinic provides access to specialist investigations and treatments along with cardiovascular risk factor management.

The main lipid clinics at the Royal Free Hospital are at:

• Clinic 2 on a Monday afternoon
• Clinic 5 on a Thursday morning

We also run:

Outreach Lipid Clinic

The Outreach Lipid Clinic is held at Edgware Community Hospital every Friday afternoon to improve our patients’ access to the lipid clinic service.

HIV Lipid Clinic

People living with HIV may experience high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides as a side-effect of their medications. This service helps people on antiretroviral drugs to manage the risk associated with having high lipids.

Referral details

We regret we cannot see patients without an appointment. Referrals to the Lipid Clinic team can be made via a GP or a hospital doctor (for in-patients). Electronic referrals from a GP may be made through the ‘NHS e-Referral Service’ system.

If you have any general enquiries about cholesterol or cardiovascular risk, please contact the Clinical Nurse Specialists. Please note this is for clinical enquiries only.
