If you have a hospital appointment do Royal Mail grant you a day off ?

Medical appointments: Employees should be encouraged to try and arrange medical appointments outside of working hours, but sometimes, this is not possible. When an employee needs time off to attend an appointment that has been scheduled during working hours, there is a legal requirement to facilitate time off. You might do this by arranging for them to make the time up, swap shifts with a colleague or offer paid time off.

The above is from the other time off : management support booklet.

Have you not got the option to work for part shift then attend hospital appointment ?
Personally have done this on numerous occasions even if it was only to prep delivery .
