Clean Air Zone

If you're travelling to one of our locations by car, you may need to pay to travel through Birmingham's Clean Air Zone. Check the Brum Breathes website for full information.

Where to park

Parking should only be in the designated visitor car parking areas. Visitor car parks A and B are located by Ward 27 and the Homeward Centre (Ward 26). At peak times our car parks can become congested with spaces limited.

All car parks across the Good Hope Hospital site have been accredited by the Park Mark® Safer Parking Scheme.

Disabled parking

From Tuesday 9 September, Good Hope Hospital is trialling a new, simplified parking process for Blue Badge holders, designed to help improve patient and visitor experience. 

Blue Badge holders will no longer need to visit the Treatment Centre to validate their badge. Instead, when exiting the car park they must: 

  • press the intercom button at the exit barrier. 
  • hold their Blue Badge up to the CCTV camera. 
  • the security team will verify that the badge holder is present in the vehicle. 
  • once confirmed, the exit barrier will lift, enabling free exit. 

This replaces the previous system, which required physical validation at every visit.

Please note that misuse of the blue badge is a criminal offence and may result in legal action.

How to pay for parking

Please do not pay for parking until you are ready to leave the car park as underpaid tickets will be rejected by the exit barrier machine.

The 30 minute drop off or pick up only ticket allows free entrance and exit for up to 30 minutes. There is no need to use the pay machine, simply insert your ticket in the exit barrier.

Payment methods

  • Cash
  • Credit card
  • Debit card

Please note that debit and credit cards are only taken at the car parking cabin and not by the payment machine.

Multiple visit tickets

Discounted tickets for multiple visits are available to purchase from the parking office.

A 20 exit card, which is valid for 90 days, at a cost of £10 is available to chemotherapy, Palliative Care and Renal patients and their visitors. The 20 visit card can be purchased once a form from the eligible ward or department has been signed. The ticket is not transferable and can only be used on the Good Hope Hospital site.
