Closure of North Car Park and changes to Rehab Building access

Date: 17 September 2021

We are planning a number of significant improvements to Queen Alexandra Hospital to make sure we can continue to deliver high quality services in efficient, well-maintained and well-designed buildings.

As part of this, construction will soon start on our new multi-storey car park for patients and visitors, located next to our brand new ward building.

The work means that, from 25 September, the North Car Park will be closed until Spring 2022.

What this means for patients and visitors

From 25 September, patients and visitors will no longer be able to use the North Car Park and will be directed to use other car parks around the site, including our main public
multi-storey car park located opposite the hospital main entrance.

 

Patients attending appointments in the Rehab Building

The entrance to the Rehab Building, next to the North Car Park, will have to close for the duration of the work. A new entrance will be provided around the back of the building for access from the new Rehab Patient car park.

If you are driving to your appointment in the Rehab Building, please follow signs for the Rehab Patient Car Park, which is at the back of the Rehab Building and accessed via Harvey Road. There will also be a dedicated drop-off and pick-up area here.

If you are walking, coming by bus or you use the disabled parking spaces by the hospital’s North Entrance, please use the new pedestrian access from Nightingale Road. If you use this entrance, please use the lift to go up one floor to the rehab reception on level D.

Volunteers will be on hand to help you find your way, however please don’t hesitate to ask any member of our team if you need help.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during the work.
