Generic (Building Development Works - 2025)

• We are currently making improvements to the entrance of our Emergency Department, which will take a few months to complete.
  During this period, a safe pedestrian diversion is in place and a marshal will be present to advise and guide you safely to the Emergency Department at peak times.
  If you come by vehicle, please park in the main entrance Blue Badge parking (car park F), car park A or the multi-storey car park and then follow the diversion signs which start opposite the main hospital entrance.
  For your safety, please follow the public footpath opposite the white hoarding and take care when crossing roads as the hospital site is busy with construction vehicles, buses and taxis.
  These improvements are a crucial first step in enhancing the Emergency Department for patients, as part of the enabling works to build a new Urgent and Emergency Care facility building at Derriford. .
