Parking charges at RJAH
 

If you will be purchasing a weekly or ten visit ticket, please pay for these via the machines and you will be issued with the relevant ticket. Please take the ticket to the Car Park Attendants, located in the hut on Car Park A, who will issue you with a permit to display on your windscreen. If on the first day you are unable to find the Attendants, simply display the machine  ticket on your dashboard and find them the next time you visit the site.

A ten visit ticket does not need to be used over consecutive days.

Please note: the ticket machine does not give change and does not accept 1p, 2p coins or any old coins. 

There are some groups of patients and visitors who are not required to pay for car parking:
 

• Those who are receiving cancer treatment as an inpatient on Oswald Ward
• Those who are staying in hospital with their children on the Alice Ward, the paediatric unit
• Those who are visiting patients on an end-of-life care pathway

If you fall in to any of the above groups, please speak to the ward or department you are visiting who will issue a permit.
