• Only staff with a permit can park on the campus site between 6:30am and 11:30am each weekday. Please see the forms below and for further information please refer to the Intranet.

• All staff have access to Car Park 2C from 11:30am each weekday and can park their vehicles if spaces are available.

• Staff are not permitted to park in other car parks across the campus, which are required for both patients and visitors. If spaces are not available within Car Park 2C, alternative parking such as the Park and Ride must be used. We encourage staff not to park in the roads surrounding the hospital as this can cause significant problems for the flow of traffic in these areas but also makes it very difficult for the people who live there.

• Departments should continue to notify the parking team of any staff who require carpark access in an emergency, or because they are travelling to the site for an urgent service requirement.

• Staff working nights or at the weekends can park on site regardless of whether they have a parking permit or not.

• There are car share permits allocated to wards and departments who have applied. Please speak to your ward/department directly in this regard.

Park and Ride

Park and ride is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, save money and help ease congestion in Edinburgh. There are seven park and rides operating in and around Edinburgh:

• Ingliston west

• Hermiston west

• Newcraighall east

• Ferrytoll north

• Sheriffhall south

• Straiton south

• Wallyford east

For more information, please see the Edinburgh City Council webpage here

Cycle to work

The main cycle focus is the cycle hub situated to the rear of the Chancellors Building. Please ensure you utilise an adequate high-quality lock when securing your bike.

To get access to the blue bike cages go to the Parking desk besides M&S, show your ID and you will be given a code for the storage unit.

Dr Bike

The campus regularly has Dr Bike sessions which cater for cyclists. Dr Bike is a fully qualified bike mechanic from The Bike Station, who helps fix minor bicycle problems and provide maintenance advice.

The Dr Bike mechanic will provide:

• a free bike safety inspection.

• fixing of minor problems on the spot (e.g. punctures, brakes, gear problems).

• a bike ‘MOT’ certificate to take to a bike shop for problems which cannot be fixed on the spot.

Dr Bike Sessions are completely free to staff on production of a staff ID.
