| How do I pay? | Blue Badge Holders | Help with parking |
| Payment should be made by using one of the ticket machines before you head into the hospital for an appointment or visit. Patients and visitors can pay by debit and credit card or cash. |
If you are a holder of a blue registered disabled badge there are designated spaces at various locations around the hospital site. Remember to display your blue badge wherever you park. |
The car parks are managed on our behalf by CP Plus. Please talk to the CP Plus Attendants if you have difficulties with parking, who will be pleased to help. They will assist you if you experience difficulties with the pay machines, finding your way into the hospital, helping to find assistance if your car should breakdown whilst in the car park and finding an available parking space. |
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.
