Wyndham House Surgery

In the last 2 months we have had the results of 2 Patient Feedback Surveys.  The first showed that 94% of our patients rate the service they receive from Wyndham House as good, very good or excellent.  This all round satisfaction was mirrored in the Patient Participation Group (PPG) coordinated survey that showed increased scores in all areas from when we last ran it in 2012.  However we do not plan to rest up.  Please see the action plan we have developed to continue to push for improvements in 2013/14 (links in the PPG section of website).

94% of patients rated the service and care received at Wyndham House as Good, Very Good or Excellent in the Patient Feedback Survey that we ran in November. Our scores were well above the national average in all areas that were assessed. Click here for the full report. We were all extremely pleased with the results however we will continue to strive to innovate and improve and always welcome any feedback that will help us attain this.

To ensure all your results are back please leave a week after a test has been taken before ringing for the result.  Please could we ask patients to ring in the afternoons for results – this gives doctors a chance to look at them at the end of their morning surgeries and is also the least hectic time for Reception staff.  Thanks very much.

This year we will be hosting students from Years 2, 3 & 5 of the Peninsula Medical School.  We have been involved in teaching the students since the school was formed in 2004.  All three GPs are involved in teaching and examining the students during the year at the surgery and also at the medical school.  Thanks very much to all our patients for the warm welcome and encouragement they give to the students.  We consistently get fantastic feedback from them about their time spent at Wyndham House.

Trish Brown, our Senior Practice Nurse, has been teaching nurses training to become General Practice Nurses for many years at Plymouth University.  Recently the GP Unit where she lectures won the Education Provider of the Year at The General Practice Awards in London.  Hopefully next year we will be harnessing Trish’s expertise further when we commence a pilot nurse training programme linked to the University and the South West Deanery at Wyndham House.

The Friends of Wyndham House are generously funding a series of Balance Classes which will run in the Community Hall.  The courses aim to improve balance, coordination, leg strength and so reduce risks of falling.  The course is free and patients who attend all six sessions will gain the most benefit.  The first course has just finished and was extremely successful.  For further details please contact the surgery.
