Changes to services at Hemel Hempstead Hospital
The urgent treatment centre at Hemel Hempstead Hospital continues to operate
and is open from 8am to 10pm every day.
The respiratory hub, run by local GPs, is an appointment-only service that
people with COVID-19 symptoms are referred to if they need clinical care. It is
being relocated close to the Urgent Treatment Centre but will have its own
entrance and exit. This area of the site will have its own dedicated car parking
facilities nearby.
All other areas of the site will be for planned care ‘green pathways’ only. Outpatient and diagnostic services are open,
although seeing reduced numbers of patients. We are offering telephone or video
consultations wherever possible instead of bringing patients into our hospitals.
We restarted our endoscopy and respiratory services in June.
Simpson Ward is currently not being used. During the
first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic the ward was being used for positive
COVID-19 cases no longer needing acute hospital care. The number of cases has
now fallen and there are now not enough patients requiring this level of care to
keep the ward open. Discharge pathways for non COVID patients are currently
working well and there has been a reduction in the number of patients in the
hospital waiting for care following discharge.
St Peter’s Ward (run by Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust or CLCH)
remains open for confirmed non COVID-19 patients.
We have strict
visiting restrictions in place to minimise the risk of visitors bringing infection into our hospitals and to minimise the risk of visitors becoming infected and transmitting the infection to the community.
