Car parking cards

Where to find us...

If you wish to use the parking facilities at the hospital you need either a Smartcard (used in the Pay & Display machines) or a parking permit.  With a Smartcard you will need to buy a ticket on a daily basis at a cost of 40p per day.  A parking permit costs £8 per month (pro rata for part-time staff), the cost of which is deducted from your monthly salary.  You are also able to have a permit if you work part-time; the cost is calculated on a pro rata basis.  Smartcards and parking permits are issued in Facilities.

Note: Junior medical staff who have abated charges will be increased by 2%.

How to use your Smartcard

At present the personnel in the facilities reception are inundated with people coming in and complaining that their parking cards are not working. In the majority of cases there is not a problem with the cards; they are just being used incorrectly. To reduce this burden, we have compiled a step-by-step guide on how to use the cards properly:

1.       Insert the card with the gold chip facing upwards and the blue arrow pointing towards the machine.

2.       Be patient – the machines can be slow at times. If your card does get stuck in the machine, twist the red dial and it will be released.

3.       When the machine has acknowledged your card you will be able to see on the display how much credit you have left.

4.       If you need to put more credit onto the card simply put the some money into the coin slot. Please note, CREDIT CANNOT BE ADDED TO A CARD IF IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED TO OBTAIN A TICKET.

5.       If you have enough credit, press the blue and the green button in quick succession, and a ticket will be issued allowing you to park all day.

6.       Take your ticket and remember to remove your card – if you lose it you will need to pay £3.00 for a replacement!

Visitors making several trips a day to the hospital will be able to retain their tickets.
