Parking
Relatives and visitors are welcome to use the hospital car park
opposite the main entrance.
Spaces are limited and we would ask you not to bring your own car
to the hospital for the duration of your stay. You may drop
patients at the main entrance but please do not park there as this
causes an obstruction to ambulances and the disabled.
Please do not leave any items lying visible in your car and ensure
that your car is well secured.
Disabled Parking
There are several disabled parking facilities close to the hospital
entrance.
If you require assistance we provide a valet parking service.
To use this service, drive into the ambulance bay at the Accident
and Emergency Department where there is a signposted telephone on
the right hand side, which allows you to speak to the
porters.
The porters will allow you adequate time to leave your vehicle and
will then drive it to the main hospital car park. When you are
ready to leave the hospital, return to the portering department
within the Accident & Emergency Department where arrangements
will be made for a porter to collect your vehicle.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran has comprehensive insurance cover
in respect of this service.
