This means you will no longer need a physical ticket which will allow better movement of traffic in and out of our car parks and will make your visits to the hospital much smoother.
There will be pay terminals at each of our site entrances or you can pay in advance via the App. For those who are exempt from paying for parking please visit our FAQs ANPR FAQs.

A limited amount of free parking is available for patients attending treatment in the Oncology (C4) and Renal departments three times a week or more for an extended period. Cards should be returned for the period of recovery between treatments to enable accessibility to as many patients as possible. These parking cards are issued following the completion of a request form by the ward, and payment of a refundable deposit of £20 to the General Office who will issue the card, subject to availability. Cards should be returned to the General Office for refund of deposit.
Blue Badge holders
Disabled blue badge holders at Russells Hall Hospital will be able to register their badge online against their vehicle registration. If they are going to use a different vehicle, then this can be added online; or on the day of the visit the badge can be scanned at the payment machine and a registration added.
Parking is free for Blue Badge holders on all our visitor car parks at Corbett and Guest. If you are a Blue Badge holder, please show your Blue Badge in the windscreen of your vehicle for the duration of your visit and at the exit barrier, press the “I” intercom button and show security your Blue Badge who will then lift the barrier.
Save money on parking with a value card
Limited value cards are available to patients and visitors (excluding those attending Urgent Care Centre) who visit the hospital at least three times a week over an extended period. They are available at a fixed seven day fee of £15.00 plus a £20.00 refundable deposit. Value cards provide unlimited parking on the visitor car park for seven consecutive days, but do not guarantee a space.
To purchase a value card, ask a member of staff on the ward or department you are visiting for more information.
Once purchased, these cards are non refundable.
Please be aware that value cards are subsidised by the Trust and there is only a limited number of these available.
