Cheshunt Community Hospital

Since booking system was introduced for blood tests it is a fantastic service - in and out no waiting and nurses taking the blood very friendly - should role out this system to all hospitals and GPs

Just thought I’d leave a review for Sarah - the nurse who stitched my daughters knee up, she was so helpful and caring, she went above and beyond in making sure she was at ease. So thank you Sarah for your assistance today .

Have used Cheshunt Community Hospital on a number of occasions recently for both X-rays and blood tests. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Waiting times for blood tests have been greatly reduced since they bought in the booking system
I've been lucky to have been seen quickly for X-rays too.
There is plenty of parking (pay to park) and free parking opposite.
We are lucky to have this community hospital on our doorstep.

I think this place could do a whole lot more than it does for the local community. Seems like a waste of space. Surely more could be done to take (at least take some pressure) off A&E’s. Let’s be honest, sending everyone to A&E is currently ALL GP’s are doing! They’re still getting paid for not doing very much tho!

Getting the blood test appointment was easy and quick,the man on the phone was direct and polite,got a appointment for the next day which was good.

Finding the place and the entrance was easy.Did a self checkout and took a seat.

The names of patients and which bay you should be is on the screen in the waiting room.Says next patient when it's your turn.Was called up on time.

I was a bit anxious,just because my veins are hard to find and I had problems with nurses not being able to find it although they pierced my arms several times and asked to do it on my hand/wrist which I didn't want.

Jane was doing my blood test,she greeted me and asked for my blood test papers.

She put the tight band and cleaned the skin.

She said look forward and put the needle without saying sharp scratch.When I looked to see what was going on,blood wasn't coming out,she suddenly pushed the needle in more which was painful and told me to look forward again.She did take 3 bottles but it felt like ages and was painful.She then took the needle out and put cotton/ tape on it.

Now I can't stretch my arm and I am in pain.

The lady at reception was helpful.

So kind caring. Kept you informed. Did not have to wait long to be seen. Had X-ray. And then consultation So professional. Friendly. Thank you. X

My daughter was very nervous at having a blood test and unfortunately the man who took the blood was not very sympathetic!

Got turned away from my blood test only because I have been assigned to go to the Cheshunt hospital and not the Hoddesdon one. When getting my appointment done online the only option assigned for me was “Cheshunt”, not as stated by the nurse as “categorically having many options available”. to pick locations from

I’m sure it wouldn’t have been a big deal if they had my blood test done this time at Cheshunt seeing as I had to wait 2 weeks to get booked.
