Hi! Does anyone know if there is any special parking arrangements for antenatal appointments in the Antenatal Clinic at Tameside Hospital? Starting to really struggle walking from car parks miles away on the other side of the building as it’s so hard to find a parking space! 🙈

Sadly not , it's a nightmare. I spent an hour once finding a car parking space. 🙃 not great when you are heavily pregnant.

Not as far as I know. It's awful isn't it!
They may be able to fit you in for antenatal appointments at a local GP, they have a few satellite centres for midwives, worth an ask

Unfortunately not 😩 just that open car park across the way from the building. Might be worth asking at reception/security next time you're there though?

Apparently they do something where you pay £15 for so many, but I’m not sure if that includes parking nearby x

@Lisa that's just any on site hospital car park 😩 good value though, I've had a lot of appointments moved there so it's been worth paying for us

thank you. I wasn’t to sure x

You can get a pass from security which I think covers 10 visits. Not sure on the price xx

Iv found the closest yesterday was behind Charlesworth building and walking around....least its flat. From the other....the multistory it's a climb up the hill I can't cope with plus no lift. Have tried to get through the barriers at antenatal and they say it's for premium / staff only basically. They let me in once coz I said there was a Car right behind me and I couldn't get out otherwise. Xx

@Kay what do they class as premium? 😅 is that if you're literally in labour?

Tameside hospital's parking is an absolute joke.
The amount of stress it caused me during pregnancy thinking I was going to be late for my appointments and the stress of trying to get out of the car if you did actually manage to get a space!
The amount of times I just parked on the curb was ridiculous as there was nowhere else to park. They sometimes put a note on to say you shouldn't park there but honestly I would have dared anyone to take me on as a heavily pregnant woman 🤣
