Carers' passport benefits
Our carers' passport scheme at North Mid is for those who support vulnerable patients while they are in hospital and visit regularly.
The passport enables carers to visit outside normal visiting hours and to pay £1 a day for parking. It also entitles carers to free drinks while they are on the ward.
Carers of vulnerable patients who haven't been offered a carer's passport by ward staff, can obtain one by speaking to the ward manager.
Carers’ passports are valid for seven days and must be renewed weekly, if the patient is in hospital for longer.
How passport holders can obtain a £1 ticket
- Park in the main car park before going to the hospital cashier's office (Podium building, level 0, near the main entrance) to buy a pass for up to seven days.
- Take your current carers' passport with you and your car number plate details with you.
- On receipt of your parking pass, please go to main reception and ask the receptionist to put its details onto the parking system. The process takes a few minutes, so please allow some extra time.
North Mid parking facilities and enforcement action are managed by UK Car Park Management (CPM).
To avoid being issued with a penalty charge notice (PCN) charge, please follow the instructions on the car park signage, park within designated bays only and avoid causing an obstruction.
If you are issued a PCN and wish to appeal, you should direct your appeal to CPM in the first instance, following the instructions on the notice. Please provide all relevant information and evidence (if available) to support your claim.
If you have any concerns or queries about parking onsite, you can email the parking team at northmid.
For assistance whilst onsite, please speak to main reception.
North Mid is located within the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ). This means visitors to the hospital may need to pay a charge if their vehicle does not meet the required standards.
Visit the Transport for London (TfL) website for information including how to pay the charges, and who qualifies for refunds or discounts.
You can check if your vehicle meets the standards on the TfL website.
Help with ULEZ costs
Patients who need to travel to our hospitals who are not compliant with the emission standards can reclaim the ULEZ charge if they match the following criteria:
Patients who are clinically assessed as disabled or too ill to travel on public transport, are eligible for reimbursement. This includes patients who:
- have a compromised immune system
- require regular therapy or assessment, or recurrent surgical intervention
- are clinically assessed as being at moderate or high risk from COVID-19
How to reclaim the ULEZ charge if you're eligible
- Please pay the charge in the usual way via the TfL website. TfL recommends paying on the day you travel, not in advance, in case you can’t attend, or your appointment is cancelled.
- Keep your ULEZ charge receipt or make a note of the receipt number.
- Please complete the form below and take it to the cashiers’ office (Podium building, level 0, near the main entrance) within three months of the date you visited.
The Royal Free London operates the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme, which provides financial assistance to hospital patients who don't need an ambulance but who require assistance with their travel costs.
Patients on low incomes or in receipt of specific qualifying benefits or allowances are reimbursed in part or in full for costs incurred travelling to and from their hospital appointment.
Details on the scheme can be found on the NHS website. You can get more information from the cashiers’ office (Podium building, level 0, near the main entrance).
Dial-a-Ride and Taxicard
