Overview
- Holland & Barrett, which launched the service Thursday, is offering 300,000 free 15-minute in-store Wellness Check-Ins each month across the UK.
- Appointments can be booked in store or online and are aimed at people under 40 who are not eligible for the NHS Health Check.
- Up to 4,500 trained Wellness Champions will run the sessions, with training the company says is certified and verified by external and internal experts.
- The in-store rollout complements Holland & Barrett's existing free online consultations and is framed as high-street support alongside NHS care.
- The launch follows research finding that 74% see early healthy habits as key but only 50% manage their health, with access easier in London than in places like Northern Ireland and the East Midlands.
