To support us as an organisation to minimise carbon emissions and air pollution, and to improve the air quality around the Trust, we ask all vehicle drivers coming on to our sites to turn off their engines whilst dropping-off and/or waiting to collect patients and visitors.
[Air pollution is a health issue and is linked to: Asthma, Dementia, Diabetes, Cancer, COPD, Heart Disease, Low Birth Rates and Premature Birth]

Payment is on exit at one of the machines located in the exits of the hospital and on the car parks. Patients and Visitors can pay by debit and credit card or cash.
Payment can also be made on-line up to midnight on the day of the visit to the hospital site by logging on to SaTH Parking.
Pay Machines
You should pay at the end of your visit to hospital. The system is simple to use:
- Input your full registration number into the pay machine.
- It will then calculate the payment required based upon the time you have been on site.
- If your vehicle is not found then the machine will ask you to input how long you have been on site and will then calculate your payment.
- The pay machines will accept debit/credit cards or cash.
You can also pay by debit or credit card or on-line before midnight on the day you attend the hospital site
Multiple Visits
If you are making multiple visits to the same hospital during a 24-hour period you have the option of selecting “daily rate” and you will pay no more than £8.50 for that day, rather than paying the “hourly rate” each time you attend. Please note that this period begins and ends at 12am, not 24 hours from when you arrive.
Staying over a long period?
If you have stayed for over 24 hours or have left a vehicle at one of our sites for a longer period of time (this may be the case if a patient is transferred from one site to another), then please speak to a member of staff. Our car parking team have a “whitelist” to ensure that vehicles where this is the case don’t get fined. Please note that the car has to be added to the list within 48 hours of arrival, so please speak to a member of staff about this as soon as possible.
If you are a holder of a blue registered disabled badge there are designated spaces at various locations around the hospital sites.
Please note: Blue Badge Holders must not park on any yellow or red lines on site or any of the bus stops. Any cars parked in these areas will receive a charge notice.
From 1 November 2020 parking for holders of registered disabled badges is free. To take advantage of the free parking you should report to the Car Park Attendants who will register your vehicle details on their system – please show them your blue badge as evidence of your eligibility.
Remember to display your blue badge wherever you park.
The car parks are managed on our behalf by CP Plus. Please talk to the CP Plus Attendants if you have difficulties with parking, who will be only too pleased to help.
The car parks are patrolled by attendants from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm Monday to Friday and 10.00 am to 4.00 pm Saturday and Sunday.
They will assist you if you experience difficulties with the pay machines, finding your way into the hospital, helping to find assistance if your car should breakdown whilst in the car park and finding an available parking space.
