In this episode, Wendy Liebmann talks to Alex Gourlay, Executive Chair of Holland & Barrett, the UK’s leading wellness retailer, and formerly Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance, and President of Walgreens about the future of health care retailing.

 They discuss:

• The generational opportunities in health care (from food to pharmacy)
• How younger people are much more proactive in taking care of their health, and how longevity means opportunity to support older people with solutions for a continued healthy life 
• The power of the pharmacist and the importance of maintaining personal relationships with customers 
• How technology creates great opportunity for personalization with shared data to deliver specific one-to-one solutions
• The power of physical retail that is simplified, edited and organized by solutions 
• Early “green shoots” of integrated health care, but with much more opportunity still to come to build “a magic box”
