Parking arrangements

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has a Car Parking Policy in place at hospital sites where the demand for spaces outweighs availability.  The arrangements are designed to balance the needs of staff, patients and visitors and ensure our car parks continue to be fairly and effectively managed. In relation to our sites, a visitor relates to someone visiting an inpatient or attending with an outpatient for a hospital appointment.

A 4 hour maximum stay in patient and visitor car parks operates Monday to Friday (7.30am – 4.30pm). This does not affect the vast majority of patients and visitors and arrangements can be made for the small number who require to park for longer than 4 hours.

The maximum stay does not apply to designated staff car parks set aside for permit and non-permit holding staff.

Hospitals where arrangements apply are:

  • Gartnavel Hospitals Campus
  • Glasgow Royal Infirmary – alternative parking is available at Duke Street multi storey (please note charges will apply at alternative locations)
  • Royal Alexandra Hospital
  • Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus and the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow – alternative parking is available at Ogilvie Car Parking on Hardgate Road, Monday – Friday (please note charges will apply at alternative location)
  • Stobhill Hospital Campus
  • Victoria Hospital ACH
  • West Glasgow ACH.

Control and management arrangements will be enacted as required by local Management at all other NHSGGC sites.
