Changes to parking - Building our new energy centre

We are committed to transforming our site to provide outstanding facilities for both visitors and colleagues. The first step in this journey is the construction of a new energy centre, which will play a crucial role in helping the hospital achieve its goal of reaching net carbon zero by 2040. 

Work on the new energy centre is set to begin in early September 2024. These works will be located at the bottom of the hospital site and will require parts of Car Park D to be dug up to accommodate essential utility pipe relocation. As a result, we will be moving some visitor and staff parking spaces to alternative car parks. 

Please note that: 

  • Visitor parking spaces will not be reduced; however, some will be relocated to Car Park F, next to the treatment centre. 
  • Disabled parking will remain available in Car Park D. 
  • Staff parking will be redirected to other locations on-site. 

While these necessary changes and construction works may lead to increased traffic within the hospital grounds, we are working hard to minimise disruption and ensure that patient and visitor parking remains unaffected. 

We appreciate your patience and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience these essential works may cause.  Thank you for your understanding.
