“Head lice can be the cause of a great deal of frustration, upset and embarrassment for some parents and the pharmacy is often their first point of call for advice.”
Ian Burgess
Director of the Medical Entomology Centre

“We are the part of the pharmacy community that is on the treatment 'front-line'. As such, we have an extremely important role to play in ensuring the correct advice reaches parents at the time when they need it most. So it is important that we are up to date with current evidence and best practice when we give advice and make recommendations.”
Graham Phillips
Manor Pharmacy, Group Community Pharmacist
