Parking at St Luke’s - new arrangements as of April 2025

 

Parking at St Luke’s is free, but there are limited spaces and we do not offer space bookings, so please allow time to park before your visit. If you are visiting one of our residents and there is no space in the car park, there are some permitted spaces on the road outside, park up and pop into reception and we will be able to arrange a temporary permit for you.

 

Our car park is controlled by UK Parking Control (UKPC); this is to assist us in better managing and utilising the limited space we have available. This management is controlled by an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera, and a traffic warden. The standard time limit for the car park is 1 hour, but this is predominantly aimed at out-patient clinics, and we do not wish to impose restrictions on your visits – when you arrive, simply put your registration number on the tablet in reception to validate your parking and the time restriction will no longer apply.

 

As a reminder, vehicles must be parked within a marked bay, unless dropping off or collecting, where you are welcome to use the drop off area

Visits to patients and residents

 

The residents at St Luke’s always enjoy visits from family and friends, our aim is to manage these visits in a safe way. To ensure the safety of our patients and staff, all visits must be pre-booked to enable us to manage numbers.

 

Visiting times are between 10:30 and 20:00, this allows residents to have their breakfast and be ready for their visitors, as well as getting settled for the night in the evening. We do understand that sometimes, visits outside of these hours are needed. If you would like to request a visit outside of these times, please contact Reception on either: 01865 228800 or reception@stlukeshosp.co.uk

 

At the request of the residents and due to the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have limited the numbers of visitors to 3 per room, per visit – children under 3 are not counted as part of this. Any visits requested outside of this, will need to be arranged with the Management team and will either be in the garden or one of our communal spaces. To enquire about a booking of this nature, please contact Reception who will pass on your request.

 

Finally, if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or the flu, such as a cough, cold, high temperature, or are feeling unwell, please re-arrange your visit for another time, the safety of our residents is our priority.​
