Discounted parking

We offer discounted parking for patients and visitors to keep costs fair.

You can find full details of our discounted parking at:

  • the car park entrance
  • the pay stations
  • the customer service desks in the car parks

To qualify, you must show proof of your appointment. We accept:

  • appointment letters
  • booking cards
  • car park tickets signed by your clinic or department

Without proof, we may not be able to offer a discount.

Tap or select a section below to find out more.

MyChart patients

If you use the MyChart app, you can show your appointment on your phone to get discounted parking.

We know the phone signal in our car parks can be weak. If you have trouble loading the app, you can:

  • show a screenshot of your appointment
  • ask for a stamp from your clinic’s reception desk and show it at the car park information desk
Disabled parking

Blue Badge holders get free parking while visiting the hospital. You must show a valid Blue Badge.

Short stay (up to 4 hours)

You can park for free in on-road disabled spaces. Please display your time clock and follow parking rules.

Long stay (over 4 hours)

Use the disabled spaces in car parks 1 and 2. Parking is free.

Frequent outpatients

You can get free parking if you have at least three hospital appointments in a month for at least three months.

To qualify, show proof of attendance, such as:

  • appointment letters
  • booking cards
  • car park tickets signed by your clinic or department
Parents of sick children

If your child (under 18) is staying in hospital overnight, you can get free parking between 7:30pm and 8am.

This applies to up to two vehicles.

If you receive benefits

On proof of certain benefits, you may be able to claim back your travel expenses and car parking cost through the Healthcare Travel Cost Scheme (opens in a new tab).

For advice, speak to staff at the Outpatients main reception desk.

Concession tickets

To get discounted parking, take your car park entry ticket to a customer service desk (located in car parks 1 and 2).

If you need a concession, claim it on the day of your visit.

Parking costs with concessions

  • Outpatients, day surgery and emergency patients – £5.30 for any 24-hour period
  • Frequent visitors – £26.60 for 7 days, £44.50 for 14 days
  • Carers – Discounted parking is available with a carer’s passport

If you have a 7-day or 14-day ticket, pay at the machine and keep your ticket to use each time you enter or exit the car park.

Important notes

  • Frequent visitor tickets can only be used in the car park where they were bought
  • All discounts must be claimed on the day of your visit
  • We do not offer parking refunds once you have paid

Our pay machines accept cash and card payments.
