BUILDING work at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital may affect parking for some patients.

From Monday, July 13, building work will be underway for the new Department of Critical Care which impacts external drop-off and collection to the Frailty Unit.

NHS Gloucestershire said patients can still access the external Frailty Same Day Emergency Care area via a dedicated walkway.

The works mean that vehicles will no longer be able to park directly outside Frailty Same Day Emergency Care.

Patients who are frail or require assistance can use four dedicated parking spaces which have been reserved on the outer edge of the Tower Car Park.

NHS Gloucestershire said a clearly signed pedestrian walkway will provide access for patient collection.
