Specialty PODs (Points of Delivery teams)
To make it easier for patients and GPs to contact us about hospital appointments, we have opened the PODs – or Points of Delivery teams.
All of our PODs are open from 8.30 to 17.30, Monday to Friday, except for POD 11 which is open from 8.30 to 17.00.
The PODs bring together our administrative support teams for many of our specialist services to make it quicker and easier to arrange appointments and keep in contact with us.
