Holland & Barrett has partnered with Scottish online pharmacist Phlo to broaden its weight management offer for customers.<\/p>\n
The partnership will see Phlo\u2019s services featured across Holland & Barrett\u2019s store estate and online, with the pharmacy providing clinical support through its GPhC-registered teams.<\/p>\n
Phlo will reportedly be responsible for all clinical services linked to the partnership, including patient assessment, care and safety.<\/p>\n
The service will be powered by Phlo Connect, the pharmacy\u2019s API-driven digital infrastructure platform, which operates behind the customer-facing experience. It supports clinical assessment, prescribing, dispensing and ongoing patient support.<\/p>\n
Phlo chief executive Adam Hunter said: \u201cHolland & Barrett has spent decades earning its position as one of the UK\u2019s leading household names when it comes to health and wellbeing, so it\u2019s a privilege to be the clinical partner powering this next step in its journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeight management is one of the most important health conversations happening in the UK, and people deserve access to support that is safe, clinically-led, and built around their lifestyles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough Phlo Connect, we\u2019ve brought together our GPhC-registered pharmacy, specialist clinical teams and ongoing patient support to sit seamlessly behind the Holland & Barrett experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holland & Barrett said the partnership would help customers access regulated clinical support alongside its wider nutrition and wellness guidance.<\/p>\n
Holland & Barrett director of wellness platform Leila Thabet said: \u201cWe know that weight management is deeply personal and that the right support can look different for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs one of the most pressing health concerns facing customers today, it requires a flexible approach, and our role is to support customers in a way that works for them. This partnership with Phlo allows us to broaden the offer available within our stores and online.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy working with a regulated partner with market-leading expertise and technology, we can ensure that those seeking clinically supervised support can access it in a responsible way, alongside the nutrition and wellbeing guidance needed to support sustainable, long-term health outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
