Cars and Motorcycles
Car parking
There is limited public parking on site and we cannot guarantee you will always find a parking space, particularly at peak times during the week.
Please be good neighbours and park safely and responsibly on and off site. We can't ignore parking that can cause a danger to our staff and visitors, or that disrupts the running of the hospital and the care we provide our patients.
Drivers are also asked to back our 'Switch Off when you Drop Off' campaign and turn off their engines when dropping off passengers.
Motorcycles
We provide free and dedicated motorcycle parking areas for members of the public to use. Please see the map for locations.
Free Parking for Blue Badge Holders
Free parking is available for Blue Badge holders in all visitor car parks when displaying a valid Blue Badge. If you are using a barrier-controlled car park, please scan your Blue Badge barcode on exit. Otherwise, ensure your badge is clearly displayed on the dashboard.
Please note that this is private land. Blue Badge concessions do not apply to parking on double yellow lines. PCNs are frequently issued in these areas, as they are strictly enforced to maintain access for emergency vehicles at all times.
