Rotherham Hospital

There are car parks near each main entrance to the Hospital. Car parking signage is clearly displayed showing how to pay, and where you can park.

If you are visiting Rotherham Hospital for an appointment, please allow extra time for parking. There are a large number of spaces, however they can fill quickly depending on which day of the week you visit, and the time you arrive. If it is safe for you to do so, please consider alternative means of transport to the hospital.

Our parking facilities include a waiting bay, where visitors can be dropped off or picked up. The drop off / pick up bay has a limit of 10 minutes waiting time, which is free of charge. You will still need to press for a ticket when you enter through the car park barriers, but if you exit the car park within 30 minutes of entering, you will not be charged.

Concessions are available for Macmillan patients, those attending frequent outpatient appointments, parents staying overnight with their children on a ward, and family members or carers who have a relative/dependent in the Hospital for a period longer than 7 days. If you qualify for a concession, please ask ward/clinic staff for a concessions form to confirm that you are eligible.

If you are eligible for the NHS Low Income Scheme, advice regarding paying for parking and travelling to and from appointments can be found here. 

Parking is free for Blue Badge Holders.

Bays are clearly marked, with unobstructed access to each entrance of the hospital.

If you are a Blue Badge holder and wish to park in our main visitors car park, which is barrier controlled, please press the intercom when leaving to speak to a member of our security team. They may request to see your badge, so ensure you have it available when necessary.

Blue Badge holders are entitled to applying for a 12-month parking permit, which will allow you to enter and leave our car parks freely. They aren’t required, as you can still access any of our car parking facilities without a permit, however you will still be required to show and display your Blue Badge whilst parked.

To apply for a Blue Badge 12-month parking permit, please fill out an application form. Completed forms must be sent, alongside a photo or photocopy of your Blue Badge, to rgh-tr.estates.access@nhs.net

The hospital is served by public transport and many of the services are direct.
