Disruptions on site

So … what’s going on in Car Park F at Derriford Hospital?

At the weekend our contractors sectioned off part of Car Park F (often referred to as the disabled car park), as we will be relocating our MRI and CT scanners from Car Park B in the next few weeks.

As of 1 May 2025, the Paediatric ED has relocated and pedestrian walk-ins will need to enter the building via the Main Entrance at the front of Derriford Hospital.

All minors (under 16) will need to be brought through the main entrance doors. Please then follow the red signs directing you to the Paediatric Emergency Department.

Starting Wednesday 2 April 2025, pedestrian walk-ins to the Children's Emergency Department (ED) will need to enter the building via the Main Entrance at the front of Derriford Hospital. This is due to the construction work taking place outside the Emergency Department.

We want to remind people about the closure of the single lane previously open to public vehicles outside the front of Derriford Hospital. In this video, Future Hospital Programme Planning Manager Bryonie Deeming explains the Trust’s decision behind the road closure, and alternative ways to access the hospital and its main entrance.

Following the announcement from the Secretary of State that University Hospitals Plymouth will be part of the first wave of Trusts to receive funding under the New Hospital Programme, the construction of our new Emergency Care Building is now moving at pace.
