SOPD is where patients go once their case needs more than a general consultation — typically following a referral from GOPD or another department once a specific specialist opinion is required.

A range of specialists run clinics through SOPD, meaning patients can see the right consultant for their condition without needing to be readmitted or redirected elsewhere in the hospital.

What to Expect

• Specialist consultations across multiple fields
• Follow-up care for ongoing conditions
• Coordination with the referring department
• Scheduled appointments (referral required)

Patients are advised to bring their referral letter and any prior test results to their SOPD appointment.
