Unfortunately as with most hospitals the car parks are incredibly busy and by 0900 mostly full. We cannot guarantee you a space. Parking on surrounding roads is largely permit holders only and cars regularly get parking tickets. If unable to park on site it is possible to park on the Marine Parade or Links Road which are a 5-10 minute walk away. We have attached a map and marked these roads in red. The trust have allowed 30 minutes for registration so hopefully this should allow you enough time to park and walk if necessary
