York Hospital
Getting there:
York Hospital is situated on Wigginton Road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of the city.
You are now able to hop on board a new service from Rawcliffe Bar Park and Ride and then be dropped off right outside York Hospital's front door.
Services run every 20 minutes between 6am and 8:30pm, with tickets costing £3.20 return (£1.50 return if you have a valid hospital staff pass). All you have to do is park on site at Rawcliffe Bar and catch the bus at the dedicated Hospital Park and Ride bus stand opposite the terminal building; tickets can be purchased through the bus driver.
Car parking at York Hospital:
Our multi-storey car park is open for patient and visitor parking. This operates a 'pay on exit' system. Visitors and staff are required to pay for parking at the York Hospital site between 7.30am and 8.00pm.
A reduced parking rate is available for partners of women in labour. The rate is £2 a day and partners are required to park in the designated area which is signed and close to the main entry to the Maternity Unit. After labour, partners and visitors are required to park in the multi-storey car park and standard charges apply.
The Maternity Unit:
The Maternity Unit is based on the ground floor of York Hospital. If you go in through the main door services are clearly signposted:
Junction 4: Antenatal Day Services
Junction 5: Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit
Junction 8: Labour Ward, Delivery Suite, Maternity Triage, G2 & G3
The labour ward has ten labour/birthing rooms, two birthing pool rooms, and two obstetric theatres.
Ward G3 is an antenatal ward of 12 beds which includes four induction or early labour rooms.
