Disabled parking (Ramsgate Road side) – from the traffic lights, drive straight on and you will see the entrance on your right (second turning) with 22 bays for blue-badge holders.
Disabled parking (St Peter's Road side) - either enter opposite the St Peter’s Road entrance (26 bays), or opposite Maternity, turning left on entry (not through barriers) and follow road round towards Maternity (8 bays).
Patient drop-off bays are located directly outside the hospital entrances. These are intended for drop-off and pick-up only and we would ask you not to wait or park there as space is limited.
Staff parking areas are reserved for staff permit holders only – please be careful not to park in one of these as you may be liable to a parking ticket. Please also be mindful of areas signed for restricted use as standard P&D tickets will not be valid in those areas.
There are also separate car parks operated by the Pilgrims Hospice, the Thanet Mental Health Unit, and by Spencer Hospitals, all of which are reserved for their patients and visitors only.
Weekly permits
Weekly permits can be obtained via the pay stations. Simply press the
'others' button on the pay station display screen and the weekly ticket option will appear. Keep the ticket safe as on subsequent visits, you will need to insert it at the entry barrier to gain access, and again at the exit barrier when you leave.
