Parking

Car parks at Causeway Hospital are clearly signposted on arrival. The main visitor car park is situated in front of the main building.

For those who require it, we have an Access guide for Causeway Hospital to help you plan your hospital visit.

Please note, if you’re being dropped off at the hospital there is a 15-minute grace period for drop off/pick up, however you’ll still need to take a ticket on entrance as you’ll need this to exit.

Parking enforcement is in place across this hospital site, with appropriate signage displayed where applicable. This is a necessary safety measure to control the number of incidents relating to inappropriate parking in disabled bays, drop off areas, footpaths, double yellow lines and to ensure service access routes are kept clear at all times.

It is vital, to ensure that service users, visitors and staff can park safely and appropriately, and to improve the flow of traffic, reduce illegal parking and keep vital routes clear for drop-off zones, ambulances and other emergency vehicles.

Free car parking

Patients with specific acute conditions who are required to attend Causeway Hospital on a regular basis will be entitled to free parking on site during their period of treatment.

If you believe you are eligible, you should speak to the ward manager.

Eligible individuals will receive a voucher that can be used at the exit barrier ticketing machines.

Free car parking will be provided for next of kin of patients in Intensive Care, or for those sitting for prolonged periods of time with a patient who has a life-threatening condition.

Trust staff will use discretion to apply the eligibility criteria in other situations where the duration and/or frequency of visits leads to significant charges.
