Always very busy and hard to get into. I had a disabled permit, could see several empty disabled bays from the long line of cars, but couldn’t get into the car park as the waiting time was so long (estimate about 25-20 minutes) and wouldn’t have had time to get my disabled parent to the appointment on time.

Ended up having to drop passenger off at main door, walk her very slowly in, find a wheelchair and leave her. Then go back out , park in an alternative car park and race back to the front of the hospital and take her to the appointment. All in all ended up taking about 45-50 minutes in total from first arriving at the car park entrance.

My advice? Avoid this car park if you can OR give yourself at least 60 minutes of contingency to get parked up and into the hospital!

Great hospital though!

This car park is dreadful. It is so small and busy you need to wait for someone to leave before you can get in. I was third in line in one queue and there were three cars in a second queue. I backed out and went along to the multi storey which itself Is awful but if you drive around and don't mind a tight space at least you get a parked.

The carpark is especially great for those walking difficulties, wheelchairs and pushchairs. To start, let's hope you know which floor to park of to get to the right door for the disability lift, (level 3 ok]which is next to the pay metre for parking on your return. It's a very, very small space, so it can be awkward trying to manoeuvre to the lift. Then you go as far as possible to get to the main corridor and be sure you know what floor you're aiming for as you will turn right or left when you sure at the very end. Happy planning!!!

Difficult to find a parking space. Allow at least half an hour during peak times. Also expensive unless you have gotten your ticket validated or exempt due to disability blue badge holder.

Not great for long cars you really have to plan how to turn into it then you've got the trying to find a place to park and it's a long wait if your coming out into tea time traffic. Otherwise it's ok cost £4 for a 40 minute stay.

It's a car park. However, if you are a blur badge holder, take your badge to the main entrance reception desk with your car park ticket, and they will scan for you as you are entitled to free parking.

Car park is very busy at all times.

There is a fruit and vegetable stand at the front of the car park which sells very good produce.

Had a hospital appointment and managed to park close to the entrance, after my visit before leaving I bought some excellent fruit from the stall in the car park . I enjoyed the figs with blue cheese, wallnuts and a drizzle of honey.

Very busy but didn't have long to wait for a space. Worth the wait. It is so near the main entrance a boon for anyone with walking difficulties.

Gets very busy so need to get a parking space early. Otherwise end up on the top floors - not good with wheelchairs.

Good parking, plenty of blue badge vats, typical hospital parking charges. Not easy access to A&E though, use another car park.

There can be a nasty long queue to get in sometimes.Ionce waited 20 minutes. Yesterday, about10. It's annoying when there are no disabled bays free and I have to park at the bottom and by the time I've hopped up to the disabled bay on my crutches there's lots of places.

It is a barrier car park, so if, like me, you drive a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV), it can be difficult or impossible to reach the ticket machine. There is a help button, but, again, depending on your level of ability, it can be difficult to reach it. Once you have your ticket, there are a lot of accessible parking spaces, but they fill up really quickly, and you may have to wait a long time for one.

Location, location, location! Only for accessing to RVI hospital, the multi story provides decent wheelchair and limited mobility access, arriving near the eye centre. Access lanes are tight but not scary (use the right hand lane for entry and there's more room) and the bays are neither too generous nor ridiculously tight.

Hhmmm. Good entry/exit system. Pay machine ok. But. Had my Mum in a wheelchair. Couldn't get to the lift because of stupid bollards in the way with not enough room to get the chair through. Had to push the chair up the steep ramp to access the next lift up. Luckily no cars coming. Dangerous. Also, lifts very slow indeed. Don't use lift 17.
