A photo of the main entrance at CRH

The main entrance at Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) will be temporarily closed from Monday, 10th August, until early October.

Patients and visitors are advised to use the Hospital Service Entrance on Dudwell Lane, the Women and Children’s entrance, or the hospital entrance from the A&E car park which give access to all wards and departments in the hospital, which is open as usual.

Drop-offs, pick-ups and taxis must use the Hospital Service Entrance on Dudwell Lane. People can still drop off at the main entrance if you are coming to the Birth Centre.

There will be extra signs on site which will explain where to go. Attached are posters and a map of alternative entrances which services can download and print for their patients. Information for patients is also available on the CHFT website. 

You can still use our café, restaurant, shops and other facilities by following the signs to the main entrance from within the hospital.

You can also still use the bike shelters located outside the main entrance.

The alternative entrances to Calderdale Royal Hospital are:

  • The Hospital Service Entrance off Dudwell Lane – for all drop-off and pick-ups, and access to all wards and departments. This is the nearest entrance from bus stops on Salterhebble Hill.
  • The hospital entrance accessed from the A&E Car Park off Godfrey Road - the nearest entrance for CCU, Radiology and Macmillan
  • The Women and Children’s entrance which is off Godfrey Road - the nearest entrance to Outpatients and Maternity

People who may need additional assistance

All our hospital entrances are accessible for wheelchair users. Wheelchairs will be available at all entrances, and patients are asked to return them to the entrance after use.

If people need any extra help or support to get to the ward or department they are visiting, they are advised to speak to the department whose care they are under.

About the work

The temporary closure of the main entrance is so that we can widen the entrance way and install vehicle security bollards. It will make it easier for people to get in and out of the hospital entrance once the new multi-storey car park opens in early autumn.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this essential work.
