Vivienne Toal, of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, has asked road users to reduce speed, follow the signage and only park in designated spaces.
Pedestrians are also asked to keep to the pavements and signposted walkways.
She added, “As it is absolutely vital that emergency vehicles are given priority, we will have staff patrolling the site to ensure that access is not obstructed.
“To help make it easier to drop off elderly patients and those with mobility difficulties, we will have additional seating and wheelchairs available inside the main foyer.”
