Pharmacy Care Health and Wellness Approaches in the Grocery Retail Environment

Health care systems in Canada and countries around the world are challenged by increasing demands for services, while providing those services within fixed health agency budgets. To address these challenges, the Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation, Loblaw Company Limited and Green Shield Canada has formed a collaborative partnership. The proposed research will engage academic and industry researchers, key decision-makers, pharmacists and dietitians in examining and exploring the impact of new, expanded models of pharmacy care in retail grocery store settings that focus on achieving health and wellness outcomes for communities. In addition, the impact of expanded pharmacy practice roles will be examined for potential program development opportunities for employee health products designed to enhance employee health and wellness outcomes in workplace settings.
