The hospital entrance is on the right-hand side, just past the roundabout. Car parking is available at the front of the hospital - by turning right at the entrance to the site.

For visitors to the north of the hospital, the car park is accessed by turning left at the site entrance.

For visitors travelling by bus - there are buses from across the Island to Newport - depending on where you are travelling from, you may need to change buses at Newport bus station and catch the Cowes bus which passes outside the hospital.
