Wyndham House Surgery

Wyndham House Surgery always welcomes new patients who live in our large Practice area. We also accept patients from out of our area under new Government ‘non visit’ regulations – give us a ring to find out more.

We offer health checks and a medication review with a Doctor for all new patients.

Our Bertie prescription delivery service is available for all housebound patients.

The 2015 version of the SCENE newsletter is now available. This booklet is full of useful information about local clubs, activities and groups, especially for the over-60s.

The local Carers Support Group meets every third Tuesday of the month in the Methodist Church, Silverton at 2pm.  This is a fantastic method of supporting those who are full or part time carers for their relatives especially those looking after patients with dementia.

Here is a picture of the Wyndham House entry in the Silverton Christmas Tree Festival along with Lucy, Claire, Carol, Lex and Jan.  We decorated our tree according to the International theme of this year’s Festival.  30 other local groups and societies helped fill the church with some wonderful displays and original ideas.  The money raised from the Festival went to the South West Children’s Hospice.

We encourage everyone to actively support this fantastic project which aims to convert the old toilet block into a Health & Well Being Centre.  The raffles at our Flu Clinics this year have raised nearly £500 for this project and Jenny Roach (Chair of the Room4U Committee) was on hand to answer questions.  Ultimately the project aims to provide a place for older people in Silverton that will offer a warm and friendly environment, social opportunities for patients and their carers (e.g. Memory Cafe) and a hub from which other healthcare activities could run (e.g. stroke therapy, foot care and reflexology)  It could also be the centre for a proposed Neighbourhood Health Watch scheme.  With our ageing population it is essential that communities maximise their potential to provide social cohesion and support to try and help those most in need and to reduce the risks of social isolation.  This scheme is a wonderful example of a community working together to seek solutions.

A new group has started in the village giving you the opportunity to enjoy a sociable couple of hours during the winter months on each Wednesday afternoon (except the 4th in the month)in the Silverton Methodist Hall.  Just turn up to knit, crochet and natter amongst new and old friends, share tips and techniques.
