Car parking at the hospital is very busy, and at peak times, typically 10am – 4pm, demand for space is greater than capacity, resulting in delays in finding a car parking space.
We encourage all staff and visitors to use public transport and other sustainable means of travel to the hospital, like lift sharing, whenever appropriate and possible.
As of Monday 6th February our patient and visitor car parks will be controlled by Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR cameras, which capture vehicle registrations as you drive onto the hospital site.
When you return to your vehicle, at the end of your hospital visit, please enter your vehicle registration number into the car park pay terminal, located inside the car park and pay for the time used. Payment can be made with cash, bank card, including contactless, or via mobile phone app. Please note the payment machines do not give change.
Grace period
There is a 30-minute grace period for vehicles; this allows time to pick up and drop off items or people and the vehicle owner will not be charged. If they are getting close to the 30-minute mark, they are asked to please enter their vehicle registration number at a payment machine to be sure that they are within the time limit. Drivers can take advantage of several grace periods in a day as long as they are no longer than 30 minutes, i.e. they can drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.

Car parking charges apply 24 hours a day.
Up to 2 hours £2.70
