Admission in labour
For entry at night when doors are locked, please press buzzer for attention
The area at the front of the Maternity Hospital is a drop off zone. However, it must be left clear for ambulances. You can park in the main visitors’ car park opposite the hospital.
The main hospital doors are closed at night for security reasons. To enter, press the buzzer on the right hand side of the doors (see photo). A member of staff will give you access.
