Covid-19 Medicines Delivery Unit

The NHS offers outpatient treatment to people with COVID-19 who are at the highest risk of becoming seriously ill, and who have mild symptoms which do not require admission to hospital. This is provided by the COVID-19 Medicines delivery unit (CMDU).

These treatments can reduce the chance of you getting seriously ill from COVID-19 and need to be given within five days after you start to have symptoms.

The CMDU triage is based at New Cross Hospital and the IV Team is based at West Park Hospital. We provide COVID-19 treatments to people at the highest risk across the Black Country (Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and Sandwell) who have tested positive for COVID-19.

If you have tested positive for COVID-19 on a lateral flow test, or you are having symptoms and you think you may be at highest risk of becoming seriously ill, you can get assessed in the following ways:

• Contact your GP practice or 111, who may refer you to the service
• Phone the CMDU directly on 07775 752740 between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday (including Bank Holidays except Christmas Day)
• Email rwh-tr.cmdu.wolverhampton@nhs.net (accessed Monday to Friday 8am-4pm) and include the following information:
  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Home address, and address where you are currently staying if different
  • Current contact phone number (home phone and mobile if available)

• Seek urgent medical help by calling 999 if you have increased shortness of breath
• If you feel unwell contact your GP or 111
