Wellness retailer Holland & Barrett has announced a new partnership with digital health services provider Phlo, as it looks to provide a more sustainable, holistic approach to weight management.
Phlo’s clinical weight management services will feature across Holland & Barrett stores and online, signposting customers to additional support alongside its existing nutrition and wellness range.
The service is powered by Phlo Connect, which delivers clinical assessment, prescribing, dispensing and ongoing patient support.
Holland & Barrett's director of wellness platform Leila Thabet said, “We know that weight management is deeply personal and that the right support can look different for everyone. As 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, while staying true to what we do best - supporting customers with trusted wellness expertise. By 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.”
Phlo CEO Adam Hunter said, “Holland & Barrett has spent decades earning their position as one of the UK’s leading household names when it comes to health and wellbeing, so it’s a privilege to be the clinical partner powering this next step in their journey.”
“Weight 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. Through Phlo Connect, we've brought together our GPhC registered pharmacy, specialist clinical teams and ongoing patient support to sit seamlessly behind the Holland & Barrett experience.”
“We're proud to be working with a partner that shares our commitment to doing this properly, and to helping more people access evidence-based care in a way that fits into their everyday lives."
Phlo also runs Phlo Clinic, an on-demand treatment service. Phlo has bases in Glasgow, London, and Manchester.
