Disabled parking, weekly permits and other concessions

Designated bays are provided close to all our hospital entrances for the exclusive use of blue-badge holders at no charge.

Please clearly display the blue-badge in your vehicle at all times.

If you are a blue-badge holder and park in our barrier-controlled parking areas, you must pay the exit fee before leaving the hospital. 

Concessions for Oncology and Renal patients
Oncology and Renal patients who are not blue-badge holders can also benefit from the £6 fortnightly ticket, but only within the barriered car parks. Please ask your treatment team or the on-site parking attendants for further information. 

Weekly parking permits
If you need to visit the hospital several times over an extended period, our £12.00 weekly parking permit can cut the cost of parking in the barriered car parks.

Income from parking

All income from our parking charges, after running costs and car park maintenance and improvements, is reinvested by the Trust into supporting patient care at East Kent Hospitals.
  
We do not profit share with any 3rd party private operator, although we do use systems and equipment provided by an accredited car park management service provider.
