It has been brought to my attention that a few trainers teaching in the UK are still importing anaesthetics from other countries. These are illegal in the UK as they are not licensed.  Can I remind everyone please that we are only permitted to use topical anaesthetics that are available to purchase at a UK pharmacy, online or over the counter.  Most  of the trainers that I am referring to are coming into the country to train students and are not professional enough to check out our government regulations. Anyone wanting to know what topical anaesthetics they can legally use can email me for an information sheet, dawn@dawncragg.net.
