Introduction The Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (QEIIMC) is a leader in clinical health, research and education. With over 19,000 vehicle movements each day and over 36 organisations, QEIIMC remains to be the busiest medical centre in the state and is also a significant generator of traffic. From early 2010, the QEIIMC site started going through a major redevelopment to develop a world class centre of medical clinical care, education and research. This means the next time you visit the QEIIMC site, some of the parking areas will almost certainly be different to what you may be familiar with. While construction is underway visitors and patients may experience some delays upon entering the QEIIMC site. We recommend drivers to allow additional travel time to meet their appointments. The QEIIMC Trust will try to minimise the disruptions for visitors and out-patients as much as possible and will provide the latest information on how to travel and where to park on the QEIIMC site. This booklet is a guide to help your visit to QEIIMC be as accommodating as possible and we thank you for your patience while these works are underway.
