The Games will take place between Wednesday 23 July and Sunday 3rd August in venues around Glasgow. Below is a short document to assist you during the Commonwealth Games:
The above document includes:
- A reminder about the criteria for Overseas Visitors entitlement to treatment
- Temporary Residents and visitor accommodation
- Travel and Transport issues including the Games Route Network, the three Road Races and the Local Area Traffic and Parking Plans around venues
- Access to Patients
- Communication and Escalation procedures
There is address and postcodes information for residents affected by event day parking restrictions, secure areas and road closures. We would recommend that you review this information and understand if you have any patients in these areas. Event Day Parking Permits are being issued to those practices that have patients within these restricted areas together with comprehensive information on the limits of these permits. These will be issued via the Glasgow CHP.
Vehicle access to restricted areas will be controlled and in some cases will not be possible. It is essential that all staff wishing to obtain vehicle access to those restricted areas where vehicle access is permissible, have photographic ID with them.
