On the day of your procedure

We'll guide you through what to expect when you arrive at the hospital and what happens before, during, and after your treatment or surgery. This will help you feel prepared and know what to expect at each stage of your visit.

Arriving at Hospital

Friends and loved ones are welcome to drop you at the hospital, but please be aware we do not have facilities for them to stay.

Drop-off zones: use the designated patient drop-off areas near the main entrance. Your driver will not need to pay for parking if they are in and out of the car park within 20 minutes.
Parking: If your driver needs to park, they can use the on-site patient parking (charges apply).
Accessibility: Blue Badge holders are entitled to free parking. Find out more on our Blue Badge parking page.
