Car Parking at the site is free but limited to 4 hours for patients and visitors during peak periods. Please also follow our parking guidance below.
Having to attend a hospital or health centre can sometimes be stressful, especially if you have difficulty finding a parking space when you arrive. At every location where NHS Forth Valley delivers health services, systems are in place to manage traffic and provide access. These range from simple road markings and white-lined parking bays to yellow hatched boxes, pedestrian crossings, and access areas for emergency vehicles. To protect the health, safety and welfare of patients, staff and visitors, it is important to follow the traffic rules in place.
This means only parking in designated car parks or in appropriately marked parking areas on roadways. Disabled bays must only be used by Blue Badge holders or those travelling with them. Bays designated for use by the Scottish Ambulance Service must never be used, as this could delay seriously ill patients accessing urgent treatment. You should also never park in areas marked with yellow-lined pedestrian walkways, double yellow lines, or hatched box areas.
Your support and co-operation in helping to keep our hospitals and health centres safe and accessible is greatly appreciated.
