  • Patient transport drop off and collection

    Patient transport drop off and collection at the UCH campus

    Patient Transport Services [PTS], London Ambulance Services [LAS] and private ambulances drop off and collect patients at the front of University College Hospital [UCH] on Euston Road.

    Access should only be from Euston Road and not from Hampstead or Tottenham Court Road. Private vehicles are not permitted to drop off or collect patients from this area nor are they allowed to cross the solid white line into the PTS area, passing across the solid white line in an attempt to turn into the ambulance bay from the west is a dangerous manoeuvre and is an offence prohibited under Regulations 10 and 26 of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2012.

    The TSRGD specifies traffic signs and their associated meanings, as well as the regulations associated with them, if breached, Transport for London [TfL] may issue a Penalty Charge Notice [PCN] to unauthorised vehicles.

    We are currently working with Transport for London to find out if we can make the current drop off and collection areas bigger and easier to access.

  • Private vehicles drop off and collection

    What is a dispensation notice?

    It is a Camden Council’s parking scheme for patients attending University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). Areas in Camden, south of the Euston Road, are not covered by the national Blue Badge disabled parking scheme. If you want to park near, or in UCLH disabled parking bays, you will need to apply for a parking dispensation to use with your Blue Badge. A dispensation notice is required for parking in and around the main UCH site, EGAH and UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre sites only. Dispensation notices are not required for: NHNN/Queens Square, RNTNEH, RLHIM, UCHWMS and EDH.

    How to apply for a parking dispensation

    On your first visit to University College Hospital or the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre you need to park your car and bring the following to the reception desk:

    • Your Blue Badge
    • Your vehicle registration number
    • Proof of hospital attendance letter, showing appointment time and date, e.g. clinic appointment letter.

    Please note: Dispensations are only issued to UCLH patients with Blue Badges who are attending hospital outpatient appointments, day cases and the Emergency Department. They are not issued to carers, relatives, visitors or friends who are Blue Badge holders bringing a non-Blue Badge holder patient to an appointment. Dispensation notices are not issued to inpatients, overnight parking is not permitted.

    If you have a question about disabled parking, or would like to apply for a dispensation notice in advance or would like to speak with a member of staff please email your query to uclh.disabledparking@nhs.net or telephone: 020 344 79922.

  • Reclaiming transport fares

    If you are in receipt of benefits you may be entitled to reclaim transport fares when visiting the hospital for an inpatient or outpatient appointment. Please ask the clinic staff for an attendance form and take this to the appropriate hospital's Cashiers Office. Reimbursement can be made at the time of your visit if you can produce your benefit book.

  • Assisted travel for disabled passengers

    If you need assistance to plan or make a journey the National Rail Enquiries website provides information on the support available.

    The page provides a summary of the services available including a list of train companies and their access information.

    It is recommended that you book help 24 hours before you travel. This enables staff to give you as much information as possible before your travel; make alternative arrangements for you if the station is not step free or not staffed at the time you wish to travel; and ensure that there are enough staff for all the assistance requests at a station.

  • Congestion charge and ultra low emission zone

The Institute is one of three centres that currently makes up an integral part of the National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine and also houses research, teaching and training in sport and exercise medicine and allied fields.

Since opening in the summer of 2013 the ISEH is proud to now be offering

  • Excellent clinical services to both NHS, Private and Elite Sports patients
  • World class research and the capability to help a wide range of organisations
  • World class education delivering an MSc in Sports Medicine, Exercise and Health and an MSc in Performing Arts Medicine as well as a number of stand-alone courses
  • A range of support for sporting organisations
  • Important population health initiatives including the evaluation and monitoring of the Camden ‘Active Spaces’ project, a physical activity project for young people.

The Institue has also recently been named as one of nine research centres from across the world as an International Olympic Committee (IOC) Research Centre for Prevention of Injury and Protection of Athlete Health. This accreditation, which was awarded as part of the ISEH’s role as one of the three National Centres for Sport and Exercise Medicine, was made to the ISEH alongside universities and specialist sports research centres worldwide.

The Institute is a purpose-built facility with the latest state-of-the-art equipment and includes:

  • Eight consulting rooms
  • 3T MR imaging
  • Ultrasound
  • X-Ray
  • Interventional treatment rooms
  • Well equipped physiotherapy gym

Although the ISEH is a partnership facility, NHS patients treated there continue to be treated under the care of UCLH. The referral process has not changed - GPs should refer to trauma and orthopaedics as before.
