Blue Badge parking
Designated disabled spaces are provided around the hospital. There are some free disabled bays close to the main entrance. In the event that car parks for blue badge holders are full, it is recommended that drivers park in the main car park and use the courtesy bus service.
Please note that all staff, patients and visitors must park in authorised parking areas, including blue badge holders who must not park on double yellow lines. Failure to do this will result in a Civil Penalty Notice being issued.
Blue Badge holders may park free of charge. Automatic number plate recognition is in place, please park in a marked bay and display your badge.
Please follow the instructions on the machine.
