Here is the information for patient and visitor car parking at the Hospital.
We have several car parks for patients and visitors. All use an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system. This means a camera records your number plate on entry. You must pay at a pay station before you return to your car.
Car Park A (Main Entrance): This is our largest car park, located directly opposite the main hospital entrance. It is for patients and visitors.
Car Park C (Outpatients): This car park is for the Outpatients Centre, Dermatology, and the Eye Clinic.
Car Park D (Emergency Dept / A&E): This car park has a 20-minute drop-off/pick-up zone. It is intended for A&E patients and visitors only.
Parking charges apply 24/7. You can pay by card or cash at the pay stations located at the exits of Car Parks A and C.
