Head Lice Scheme

Free head lice assessment and treatment for those exempt from prescription charges.

Further Information

Head lice are common in school age children and nothing to feel embarrassed about. Through our head lice scheme you can get expert advice and treatment without needing a GP appointment.

If you or your child are exempt from NHS prescription charges, our pharmacists can provide a professional assessment, clinical treatment such as dimeticone and a detection comb completely free of charge. Just drop in with your child, or with a taped sample of a live louse, for a quick and discreet consultation. We will also show you how to check the rest of the family.
