How to get to Rotherham Hospital
By bus
By car
If you have a car please give others a lift eg advertise on Minerva!
Take the Sheffield Parkway out of Sheffield from Park Square roundabout. This road is initially the A57. The A57 turns off towards the A1 but you should continue along the main road which becomes the A630. Cross over the M1 at junction 33. At the next roundabout turn right along the A631. At the next set of traffic lights you need to be in the left hand lane to turn left along the A618 (Moorgate Road). After a few hundred yards you will see the hospital on your left. There are two entrances: you need the second as this is where the car parks are. See the parking page!
