Concessionary Parking
The Trust appreciates that the cost of parking may cause concern for some patients and visitors. In support of this we offer the following concessions at the discretion of the ward manager;
- A parent / guardian or carer of a child who is an inpatient at the hospital will receive a subsidised parking rate of £3.00 per day for the first two weeks (tariff rate £6.30) thereafter free parking.
- Parking from 7.30 pm to 8.00 am is free in line with government guidelines
- Haematology/ Oncology patients who are undergoing regular outpatient treatment will receive free parking
- Relatives/Carers of patients who are at end of life are offered free
The ward manager or nurse in charge should be contacted and will provide an authorised form to the relative/carer or patient to take to the car parking office for issue of a concessionary permit

Parking Rules
Victoria Hospital is a very busy site and we must ensure that roads and entrances are not blocked. The following car parking rules apply:
- No parking on double yellow lines or yellow cross-hatched areas
- All vehicles should be parked within the marked bays
- Only registered disabled badge holders may park in disabled bays
- A valid pay and display ticket should be clearly displayed in your car if you use the pay and display car parks
- No exceeding the time limit in short stay bays.
The car parks are patrolled by car park security officers and any vehicles in breach of these rules are liable to Parking Enforcement and a fine of £30.
Extenuating Circumstances
Should your visit to the hospital result in an emergency/unexpected admission please ensure that you notify staff on the ward or department that your vehicle is parked on site. Wherever possible please make arrangements for your vehicle to be removed from site. If this is not possible please provide the location of your vehicle & the registration number so that the car parking team can be advised. This will ensure that your vehicle does not receive a parking warning notice.
Security
Officers carry out regular patrols and most areas are covered by CCTV, 24 hours a day. Although we will endeavour to ensure the safety of vehicles parked on the site, vehicles and their contents are left at the owners’ risk.
Children and Dogs
Please do not leave children or dogs alone in cars. If you discover a child or dog that appears to be in danger or distress, contact security officers. Where necessary, Social Services, the Police or the RSPCA will be called to assist.
