Prioritise your health with expert care from J2 Medical
So many of us automatically take control when it comes to the maintenance of our homes, our cars, our pets and even our hair but few of us pro actively take control of the very thing that keeps us functioning - our body! We wait, we ignore the signs and then we become sick and only at that point do we have to react.
Being pro active with your health means learning to listen to your body, picking up subtle signs like fatigue, headaches, stomach problems or simply just feeling that something isn’t quite right, and then taking control.

At J2 Medical - a private medical centre in the heart of Rochdale Town Centre - the expert team have put together a number of popular ‘off the shelf’ screening packages if you know what’s worrying you. If you don’t, or your health issue is more vague or complex, then their experienced doctors will be on hand with prompt appointments to discuss, test, consult, diagnose and administer any necessary treatments.
The team are dedicated to improving your health and helping you become the best version of you.
J2 Medical's Lead Clinician Dr Jayanth Savanth - popularly known as ‘Dr Jay’ - is an Emergency Medicine Specialist with more than 20 years’ experience working in the UK and Ireland. In addition to Emergency Medicine, he has worked in Gastroenterology and Neurology, as well as many other specialty departments.
A keen sportsperson and race driver himself, he has a special interest in field and high speed motor sports; working as a race rescue trauma doctor both on circuit and within the medical centre at the iconic Silverstone Race Circuit. He covers the world famous Formula 1 races, MOTO GP, Welsh GB Rally as well as other National and International races.
Dr Jayanth Savanth commented:
"You may just be curious to see what your state of health is, or want to know if you’re at risk from certain health issues or it may be that you have a family history of diabetes, stroke, cancer, heart disease or something else and just want to put your mind at ease or uncover any potential issues, whatever it is we’re here to help.
"In an ideal world people should have immediate access to medical diagnostics as and when they require it; unfortunately it’s not an ideal world.
"In my career I have seen many very sick people who would have benefited from pro active medical screening. I passionately believe that people should have the right to choose what tests they have and when they have them, not only at the point they desperately need them but whenever ‘they’ feel the need; nobody knows your body like you do - early diagnosis or peace of mind, you really can’t put a price on that."
J2 Medical provide medicals for all professional and amateur sports clubs as well as medicals and vaccines for occupational health, corporate, airlines, railways, cruise ships and many more.
Should you require medication, a private prescription is issued and your medication delivered next day to your doorstep! Or if you’re the more traditional type you can request private paper prescriptions for you to take to a pharmacy of your choice.
All testing includes an online consultation with one of the doctors at J2 Medical to interpret and convey the results of any tests undertaken and talk through any course of action that may be needed. There are no hidden fees.

An Introduction to IV Nutritional Therapy
The world is still reeling from the after-effects of the COVID-19 – both economically and in terms of personal health and well-being. Life is in an exhausting state of constant flux and we’re not spending enough time recuperating. That’s where IV therapy can help.
What is IV Nutritional therapy? Intravenous (or IV) therapy is a fast and effective treatment designed to help cure what ails you. It’s a healthy boost for your body, delivering essential nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream where they can be immediately absorbed.
The treatment has been in use for centuries - doctors as far back as the 1600s attempted something similar. World War I medics prescribed IV therapy for soldiers suffering from exhaustion, fatigue, and dehydration, with the process becoming a lifesaving remedy.
Why use IV therapy? Simply put, IV therapy is the most effective method of delivering nutrients throughout the body, being passed directly into your bloodstream with an absorption rate of 90-100%. However potent your edible vitamin supplements might be, they are first broken down by the digestive system, with as little as 20% absorbed.
Popular IV Treatments IV therapy has a multitude of uses. It is, after all, a method of delivery, meaning our doctors and health experts can create different mixes of minerals and vitamins to best resolve specific complaints. These are some of our most popular treatments:
Feeling Lethargic We recommend our Immuno Booster 250ml, containing B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, lysine, cystine, ornithine, and taurine. That’s a bunch of B vitamins to improve your body’s metabolism, along with a cocktail of amino acids to help you feel energised.
Feeling Run Down We recommend our Ascorbic Acid treatment. This is a high dose of vitamin C, straight into your bloodstream to get where it’s needed most. Great for tissue repair, colds, and slumps, and a youthful glow.
General Wellbeing Boost We recommend our Modified Myers plus, containing B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride. Another mix of B vitamins for improved metabolism, this time with the addition of B12 to boost bone, tooth and muscle health, plus a mix of chloride salts to sort out your electrolyte levels.
Give Your Diet A Boost We recommend our Fat Burner Plus 250ml, containing B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, galactose, ornithine, methionine, arginine, glycine, lysine, hydrochloride cysteine, taurine, and carnitine. This treatment gives you your B vitamins for improved metabolism, plus great bone, tooth and muscle health. The other minerals help to stimulate the growth of intestinal microflora, improve digestion, break down fats and build protein, reduce fatigue and increase energy.
Worried About Treatment? If you’re new to IV therapy, there’s no need for concern. At J2 Medical, all treatments are administered in a calm and clean environment by a fully-qualified medical professional. Our spa-like clinic is approved by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and you get to relax and unwind in a quiet, peaceful room while your body absorbs the recommended treatment.
