💙 Supporting Sands 💙
This year, Millig’s chosen charity is Sands, the charity that supports families affected by pregnancy and baby loss, speaks up for bereaved families, and works tirelessly to save babies’ lives.
As a practice team, we are showing our love and support for our colleague Jackie and her family, following the heartbreaking loss of their son Lyle, who was born at 23 weeks. Lyle fought so bravely for 12 precious hours and will always be remembered.
In Lyle’s memory, Team Millig will be raising funds and awareness for Sands. Members of the team will be supporting Jackie every step of the way by taking part in challenges such as the Kiltwalk and climbing Ben Nevis.
If you are able to donate or share, it would be so appreciated. Every contribution helps Sands continue their vital work supporting families through loss. 💙

⛔️ Due to critical staffing levels within the Health Care Assistant Team we are currently unable to carry out routine blood tests or injections.
If you already have an appointment scheduled, we unfortunately may need to cancel or reschedule this. If this applies to you, you will be contacted separately.
During this time we would appreciate if patients could only make contact to book in for bloods or injections that are considered clinically urgent.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. ⛔️
