Our main patient and visitor car parks are at the front of the hospital, close to our main entrance.
There are a number of disabled car parking spaces on the front row, closest to the building.
The Trust offers free parking to disabled visitors and those who attend regular outpatient appointments, subject to certain criteria - please see below for more details.
We use a number of measures to help frequent visitors, including a discounted tariff for families of long stay and critically ill patients and a 30 minute free parking period.
The income received from car parking is invested in a range of car parking improvements for our patients, visitors and staff. These include security, maintenance and increasing the number of spaces available on the hospital site.
Note to James Paget visitors - If you decide to park off-site please be considerate of local residents by taking care not to block garages, driveways and turnings as residents have reported difficulties accessing their properties.
Please see below for further parking information.
Our new Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) car park system is now in operation.
The introduction of ANPR means we no longer need barriers or tokens, making entry/exit quicker and easier. The parking process is as follows:
1. Arrive in the car park and find a space.
2. Remember or make a note of your vehicle registration as you will need it later.
3. Attend your appointment or visit
4. Before returning to your vehicle to leave, go to one of the pay stations outside main entrance. Pay using a valid credit/debit card and enter your car registration so that the ANPR system recognises that you have paid for your parking. You can also pay by App, by downloading ‘APCOA Connect - Parking’.
If you are paying by cash, please visit our dedicated office in the main hospital foyer, which has been set up to take cash payments, where staff will be able to assist you. The office is open from 9am to 4.30pm. This is an interim solution until a dedicated cash pay station is installed at the front of the hospital later this summer.
When this office is closed, visitors wishing to pay using cash will need to return to make a cash payment at the office between 9am and 4.30pm, within 72 hours of using the car park.
