Parking is limited at both hospitals. Please use alternative methods of transport where possible. We have added extra spaces at Southport hospital but the car park remains very busy at peak periods. Please allow time to park when coming for your appointment.
Please note parking charges rise at both our hospitals from 11 November 2019.
You will be issued with a ticket on entering a car park which should be used to pay when you are ready to leave.
Payments machines are available near the reception of both hospitals; opposite the duck pond car park, in the Spinal Unit and at the back of Southport hospital; and in the car park next to Wigan Road at Ormskirk hospital.
The ticket payment machines are cash only. However, there are change machines at the main entrances to both hospitals which take bank cards.
No payment is due for entering a barriered area for less than 20 minutes. Simply insert your ticket into the machine at the exit barrier and leave.
At Southport car parks are situated along a one-way system around the main hospital building. At Ormskirk hospital there are two main car parks: one opposite the main hospital building and a second next to Wigan Road accessed using the road to Children’s A&E.
Patient transport. At Southport, the patient transport reception centre is open from 8am to 6pm (Monday to Friday). It faces the public telephones at reception. At Ormskirk, transport will be booked by staff at your clinic. If you need further help, either ask at the clinic or call extension 4311 from the main hospital reception.
Wheelchairs. Wheelchairs are available in the hospital. You may, however, find it more convenient to bring your own.
There is paid car parking available at both our hospital sites with Blue Badge holder spaces near the main entrances. You must display your badge.

UK Parking Control Ltd (UKPC) patrols our car parks to prevent thoughtless and dangerous parking. The company issues fixed penalty notices to drivers who, for example, park in Blue Badge spaces they are not entitled to, park on pavements and double yellow lines, or block access to essential clinical services and emergency services such as ambulances and fire engines.
All the income received from parking is used to improve a range of patient services provided by the Trust.
The Trust makes no money from penalty notice income which instead funds UKPC’s management costs.
The Trust is unable to resolve appeals against fixed penalty notices. All information about appeals can be found on UK Parking Control penalty notice. In certain circumstance UKPC may contact the Trust for information before deciding whether or not to uphold the appeal.
Further information about what to do if you appeal has been unsuccessful can be found at Popla, the Parking of Private Land Appeals service.
