Still using a blue inhaler?🤔

What if you could feel better for longer?

Your blue inhaler helps you breathe easier but only for about 4 hours!

Combination inhalers start working just as fast but last up to 12 hours and help keep your Asthma under better control.

💙 Don’t wait, book an Asthma review with your GP practice and find out your options.

We are currently experiencing problems with our telephone lines. Please bear with us while we look into this problem.

29/04/2026

📞 You pick up the phone because something doesn’t feel right. Whether it’s a sore throat, an earache, or a bite that’s getting angry — when you’re unwell, you just want help, and you want it quickly. We get it.

Sometimes, after waiting and explaining, you’re told “Your local pharmacy can help with this.” We get it, that can feel frustrating — especially when you’ve already taken the time to call.

But it’s not a brush‑off, and it’s not you being passed around.

Pharmacists are now trained to assess, treat, and supply treatment for a range of common conditions — on the spot, without a GP appointment. Helping us to offer appointments to those that can't be treat at the pharmacy.

It can be the fastest way to get help with:

✔️ Earache (ages 1–17)
✔️ Sinusitis (12+)
✔️ Sore throat (5+)
✔️ Infected insect bites (1+)
✔️ Impetigo (1+)
✔️ Shingles (18+)
✔️ Uncomplicated UTIs (women 16–64, not pregnant)

No appointment needed. Thinking “Pharmacy First” can save you time — and help GP teams keep appointments free for people who really need them.

West View Millennium Surgery is aware of the media coverage regarding the recent Meningitis B (MenB) outbreak.
As there is currently no MenB vaccination programme for adults as part of the NHS Vaccination Schedule, we are unfortunately unable to offer the vaccine to adults.
The MenB vaccine was introduced into the routine childhood immunisation schedule from 1st May 2015.
This means:
💉If you are a teenager or young adult born before 1 May 2015, you will not have received the MenB vaccine as part of the NHS schedule
💉The MenB vaccine is now routinely offered to babies as part of the NHS childhood schedule at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 12 months (1 year old)
If your child is eligible for the vaccine, they will automatically be invited as part of the routine schedule.
If you have any concerns about meningitis symptoms or believe someone may be unwell, please seek urgent medical advice.
For further information about meningitis please visit the following link

Read about meningitis, an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Find out about the symptoms, vaccines and treatments.

During those times when we were in lockdown the surgery was supported by some wonderful local businesses with gifts of food, snacks and equipment. One of those kind people was Rob from Robert Moore butchers who kindly supplied us with his wonderful pies. It’s our turn to try to support Rob and his family by spreading some awareness in his time of need. If any kind people can help then please do!

This is not something I thought I would ever have to or want to do. My mam has took poorly on the ho… Lorna Moore needs your support for Help to get Sue home
