Wyndham House Surgery

Patients who are having treatment through their local hospital are often required to have regular blood tests. Generally, patients are provided with a label that they bring to the surgery and our nurses will take blood on the hospital’s behalf.

From 30th September this process will be changing. The hospital will provide you with arrangements to have blood taken at another site e.g. Whipton or Tiverton.

Where labels for blood samples have already been provided in advance, the surgery will, of course, honour them.

Flu Clinic for those between 18 and 64 who are clinically at risk.

Our clinics for the above group will be held on 16th October and 30th October between 1pm and 5pm; and on 6th November between 1pm and 4pm. Invites will be sent to all eligible patients by SMS (text) and e-mail, and will provide a 1 hour slot. The slots are to ensure that there is a minimum of queueing on the day and to reduce waiting times on arrival. If you cannot make your allocated slot or date then feel free to come on one of the other dates, but be mindful that there may be waiting times.

UPDATE ————————–

Eligibility for the Covid Vaccine now extends to all those eligible for the 18 to 64 Flu vaccine i.e. those who are clinically at risk. You will be offered this at our clinics when you attend for the flu vaccine. Please decide if you want this before attending as the clinicians will not have time on the day to discuss it with you.

Please note that we do not accept requests for repeat prescription items over the phone.

As with previous boosters, the Autumn/Winter Covid booster is available to everyone over 65 years old, and those over 18 who are ‘Immunosuppressed’. The Flu vaccine is available to everyone over 65, and those over 18 who have a long term condition that places them in the ‘High Risk’ group. Where patients are eligible for both vaccinations they will be given at the same time.

We will begin vaccinating in October, and will contact those eligible in the near future with information on when to attend the surgery.

Now is a good time to update the surgery with mobile phone and e-mail details

UPDATE

Our Flu and Covid clinic for those aged over 65 will be on Saturday 26th October 2024. Patients who are housebound will have their vaccinations delivered by the Vaccination Support Group of the RDUH. Patients will be individually contacted prior to the event by SMS and/or e-mail. Details of attendance slots are HERE
