Coming to Bristol or travelling to the city centre
If you are coming from outside of Bristol, you can either take a
bus to the main Bristol bus station, a train to Bristol Temple Meads, or park at one of the
three Park & Ride facilities (Long Ashton,
Shirehampton off the Portway, Brislington on the Bath Road).
Parking is free at the Park & Ride and you pay for the bus
service. All England concessionary travel cards can be used on the
Park & Ride for free travel after 9am.
Bristol Dial-a-Ride is a door-to-door bus
service for any person who cannot use public transport due to age,
mobility or communication impairment. The service operates on
weekdays; Monday-Thursday 9am - 5pm and Friday 9am - 4.30pm. The
bus fare charged is about the same as public transport. Bristol
concessionary passes/travel cards can be used. For more information
contact 0845 1301 875 or visit http://www.bristoldialaride.org.uk/
We are very lucky at BHOC to have a voluntary driver who can
bring you in or take you home if you live nearby. Please ask at
reception for more details, and let us know if you or someone you
know wants to volunteer to be a driver! (We are particularly
looking for people to cover the end of the day/early evening).
There is a courtesy phone at reception for patients and visitors
to book a taxi.
Coming from the bus station, railway station, or centre
of Bristol to the BHOC
Many of the Bristol bus routes pass through the city centre. To
reach BHOC from the city centre it is necessary to walk up a steep
hill. If you arrive in the city centre and have mobility needs
or difficulty walking, the number 77 bus going to Southmead stops
20 metres from the hospital main entrance. Ask for the Horfield
Road stop.
If you need transport from the centre of Bristol to BHOC there
are free hospital shuttle buses from the bus station, railway
station, and Cabot Circus shopping centre. Find out more about
Cabot Circus parking and the free hospital bus at
/patients-and-visitors/travelling-to-and-from-our-hospitals/
We have spaces at the Centre to lock up your
bike, and if you are walking you can plan your route with Walkit.
Coming by car or motorcycle to the BHOC
Lifts and stairs outside the main
entrance will take visitors directly to the day unit, haematology
and apheresis unit, while all other areas are accessed via the main
reception.
Details on other local car parks is available
here. We recommend parking at Cabot Circus and using
the free hospital shuttle bus to
BHOC.
Hospital Parking
Limited parking is available on-site. Find out about our on-site
parking offering
here.
If you are a Blue Badge holder, you will be able to park
free of charge in any of our parking spaces (apart from the
drop-off spaces) as long as your Blue Badge is
correctly displayed and you have scanned your blue badge
at a car parking machine.
Motorcycle parking for patients is available. Please park in
designated motorcycle parking bays - parking in non-designated
areas may result in a ticket.
You will be ticketed if you park in the ambulance
bays. Please check before purchasing a ticket that you are not
parked in one of these designated bays.
Help with travel costs
You may be able to reclaim travel costs through the Healthcare
Travel Costs scheme, please ask for more information at the main
reception or Cancer Information and Support Centre.
If you are on regular treatment, you can buy a weekly season
ticket from BHOC main reception. This allows you to park for a week
for £3.40. The pass is valid in any hopsital car park. This does
not guarantee you a space in the hospital car parks, and you will
need to bring change for the ticket machine. Find out more.

Hospital Transport (Patient Transport
Service)
The patient transport service (PTS) is provided for patients who
require the specialist support of an ambulance crew to travel.
Am I eligible for patient transport?
You are eligible for patient transport if:
- your medical condition means you cannot use other transport
without damaging your health
- your mobility means you are unable to access healthcare by any
other means
- you need the skills or support of clinically trained staff and
/ or medical equipment during your journey.
Transport could also be provided to a patient's escort or carer
where their particular skills and/or support are needed. This may
be appropriate in the case of accompanying a person with a physical
or mental incapacity, a vulnerable adult, or in the case of
patients needing a translator. This would need to be agreed for
each individual case at the time of booking the transport.
How do I arrange a journey?
Hospital staff will arrange ambulance transport for discharge
journeys if you are eligible, but you will need to arrange
outpatient journeys yourself.
If you believe you qualify for the patient transport service
(PTS), and need to arrange a journey for an outpatient appointment,
you will need to contact your local Patient Transport Advice Centre
to arrange your transport. They will check whether you are
eligible and help you make travel arrangements.
You will need to have ready:
- your appointment letter with your NHS number
- the name of the GP practice to which you are registered.
If you need further guidance and support, or need help
establishing which is your CCG, please speak to a member of staff
in the relevant outpatient area, or your GP surgery.
