Alternative car parks a short walk away:
We ask that wherever possible you travel by public transport to reduce congestion and avoid delays.
Parking facilities for patients are available at the front of the hospital.
A 'pay on foot' system operates for parking so you'll need to remember to take your parking ticket with you and pay for your parking before returning to your vehicle.
Pay machines are located at the front of the car park opposite the main entrance and the emergency department. Payment can be made in cash or by card.
Our car parks are managed by the Trust and all funds are invested back into maintenance and patient care.
