Staff permits are allocated on the basis of frequency of need to use your personal vehicle to undertake NHS duties, and supply and demand at each site. You apply for a permit for your base site which allows you to park in the permit areas of other NHSGGC sites with managed car parking in place, you do not apply for each site you require to attend for work.

Not all sites use the same application, please see below or click on site to download the correct application;

• Gartnavel Campus
• Glasgow Royal Infirmary
• Royal Alexandra Hospital
• QEUH and RHC
• Stobhill ACH
• Victoria ACH
• West Glasgow
• Staff based at sites not listed above but require regular access to them – These are known as Peripatetic Parking Permits

Please only submit the above application forms after they have been verified by your GM and Director.

They can be e-mailed to permits@ggc.scot.nhs.uk. Nb, this e-mail address receives a very high number of enquires and as such a response may take some time.

A number of parking bays will also be set aside for non-permit holding staff at each of following sites.

• Gartnavel Campus: Area adjacent to transport depot at Shelley Court

These spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to review of effect on car park management arrangements at each site.

We encourage staff to car share where practical and possible. Car sharing can help you reduce your daily travel costs while helping to reduce CO₂ emissions at the same time. You can take turns driving and you do not have to do it every day. It’s completely flexible.

Regular car-sharers save on average £80 a month – that’s nearly £1000 per year! They drastically reduce CO2 emission which helps towards a healthier and happier community.

Please note that car share permits are available on selected sites, West Glasgow ACH, QEUH, Gartnavel Hospitals Campus and RAH. 

• Reduce your individual carbon footprint.
• Reduce stress, share the driving.
• No need to change your insurance.

1. Contact the travel plan office by email travelpo@ggc.scot.nhs.uk or phone 0141 451 1646 or 0141 451 1647.

Concern regarding insurance for those officially car sharing

The Association of British Insurers is supportive of car sharing and have agreed that insurance cover will not be affected if passengers contribute towards your journey costs (including fuel, vehicle depreciation and associated vehicle running costs), as long as lifts are given in a vehicle seating eight passengers or less. The principle being that a profit is not made from private travel.

Over 300 insurance providers are members of the ABI, accounting for about 95% of the motor insurance market in the UK. Drivers with any concerns, however, should check with their own insurance company as terms and conditions may vary between insurance providers over time.

Pool cars are available for staff to access at a number of sites, with many of these electric vehicles. More information is available from Pool Cars under Managed Car Parking pages.
