Method: The literature was reviewed to determine the basic science required by pharmacists to appropriately advise the public on the HPV vaccine, and to gain scientific knowledge in those areas. A questionnaire was produced to collect data from fourth year students attending one UK school of pharmacy. The data were analysed to assess the students' knowledge level on HPV. The leaflet was produced by considering areas of poor knowledge and the information required to advise.
