Please click on icon below for the site map of the central campus and travel guide.
By public transport
The hospital is about a 25 minute walk from the city centre and is served by several bus routes.
A guide is available from Travel South Yorkshire also obtained by calling Traveline on 01709 515151.
Coming by tram
Supertram does not serve the Northern General Hospital. It can be used to reach the Royal Hallamshire, Jessop Wing, Charles Clifford and Weston Park Hospitals, although please be aware that there is still a 10-15 minute uphill walk from the nearest stop (University). We would recommend that anyone who experiences difficulty walking long distances choose some alternative means of travelling to hospital.
By car
The hospital is at Tree Root Walk Sheffield South Yorkshire S10 2SF.
There is a charge for parking, for details click here.
Please be aware that wheel clamping is in operation within the hospital grounds. This is to ensure that ambulances and other emergency services have free access to the hospital at all times. To avoid being clamped, please make sure that your car is parked in a designated parking space.
Parking is limited, so we recommend using public transport if at all possible.
By ambulance or medicar
If you feel that you need an ambulance or Medicar to get
to hospital please telephone the number on your appointment letter and speak to a member of staff.
Please note that this service is not available to all patients, only to those with a medical need.
