Independent Pharmacy: AI, Consolidation & Fighting for Every Dollar | TWIRx
This week on TWIRx, we head into NCPA 2026 with independent community pharmacy front and center — from artificial intelligence and consolidation to supply-chain economics and policy reform. We start with the TWIRx Rumor Mill — Behind the Counter Intelligence, looking at three developing stories worth watching. TWIRx RUMOR MILL — TOP 3 1. Another massive pharmacy transaction may be coming. The owner of Walgreens Boots Alliance is reportedly nearing a deal to sell UK pharmacy giant Boots to the Weston family in a transaction valued at roughly $9 billion, including debt. The Weston interests already control Loblaw Companies and Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. No final transaction has been announced, so this remains one to watch. TWIRx Take: Pharmacy consolidation isn't slowing down. As major organizations continue reorganizing, buying, selling, and vertically integrating assets, what does that mean for independent pharmacy — and where does scale become too much scale? 2. Specialty pharmacy keeps getting bigger — and Cigna sees an enormous opportunity. At its 2026 Investor Day, Cigna identified a specialty pharmacy and care-services market approaching $500 billion, with Accredo and its specialty operations positioned as major growth drivers. TWIRx Take: Follow the money. Specialty drugs, rare disease, biologics, infusion and complex medication management continue to reshape pharmacy economics. The question for community pharmacy is: How much of this expanding market can independents capture? 3. AI is moving from pharmacy experiment to pharmacy infrastructure. Just as NCPA prepares to make AI implementation one of the major topics at its 2026 Annual Convention, health-profession regulators are increasingly discussing governance and accountability surrounding AI. NCPA's programming includes real-world AI implementation and operational applications for community pharmacies. TWIRx Take: The conversation is changing from "Should pharmacy use AI?" to "How do we use it responsibly, profitably and safely?" And that takes us directly into our first featured conversation. SEGMENT 1 John Boos, PharmD, MBA — HendrenAI AI Meets Independent Community Pharmacy Sponsored by HendrenAI and Independent Pharmacy Cooperative NCPA 2026 officially opens October 3 in Kansas City, with independent pharmacy owners and innovators gathering to focus on practical ways to increase efficiency, expand services and strengthen pharmacy profitability. AI implementation is specifically among this year's featured topics. In Part One of our conversation with John Boos, PharmD, MBA of HendrenAI, we set the stage for NCPA 2026 and examine what artificial intelligence can realistically do for independent pharmacy. This isn't AI replacing the pharmacist. It's AI giving pharmacists and their teams additional capacity. As margins tighten and workload continues to increase, the pharmacies that intelligently automate routine work may be able to redirect valuable human time toward the things pharmacists do best: patients, clinical care, relationships and growing the business. SEGMENT 2 Yvonne Dominguez — Independent Pharmacy Cooperative IPC Acquires IntegralRx Independent Pharmacy Cooperative recently announced its acquisition of IntegralRx, bringing together two organizations serving independent community pharmacies. IntegralRx has supported thousands of pharmacies through purchasing opportunities, service and pharmacy relationships. IPC says the acquisition will expand access to products, services and resources designed to help pharmacy owners remain competitive and profitable. We talk with Yvonne Dominguez about: Why IPC made the acquisition What IntegralRx brings to the cooperative What changes — and what stays the same — for IntegralRx pharmacies How scale can strengthen independent pharmacy purchasing power Why independent pharmacies increasingly need collaboration without surrendering their independence TWIRx Question: Can cooperatives create enough collective scale to give independent pharmacies some of the economic leverage enjoyed by vertically integrated competitors? SEGMENT 3 David A. Hargraves — CEO, Pharma Logistics Jessica Daley — Industry Intelligence Pharmacy Supply Chain: Fighting for Every Dollar Finally, we turn to an issue that doesn't always generate headlines but directly affects pharmacy profitability: What happens to medication inventory after a pharmacy can no longer use it? Pharmacies continue to

A Conversation with Vox: An AI Perspective on Pharmacy’s Future | TWIRx
In this special episode of This Week in Pharmacy, Todd Eury welcomes Vox, the PPN and RxPR Intelligence Officer, for a timely conversation about the forces reshaping pharmacy. Together, they examine the reimbursement pressures threatening independent pharmacies, the progress—and unfinished work—of PBM reform, and how artificial intelligence can augment pharmacists, strengthen operations, and create more time for meaningful patient care. The discussion also looks ahead to NCPA 2026 in Kansas City, emerging innovations from Hendren AI and FDB, YARAL Pharma’s support of community pharmacy, and the upcoming Veterans Pharmacy Care Summit. The message is clear: pharmacists and pharmacy technicians must engage lawmakers, host pharmacy tours in 2027, and share the patient stories that demonstrate pharmacy’s value. This is not our platform. This is your platform.

The Future of Pharmacy Where Next for the Profession | Love Your Pharmacist Awards presented by Clinigen
In Episode 2 of our special podcast series presented in partnership with Clinigen, we celebrate World Pharmacists Day by examining how hospital pharmacy is changing—and where the profession may be headed next. Host Todd Eury welcomes Carel Bouwer, a pharmacist and Managing Director for Clinigen’s Africa region, and Nicolene Schoeman, Dispensary Manager at Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital in South Africa. Together, they explore the hospital pharmacist’s position at the intersection of science and humanity. Although hospital pharmacists are recognized for their knowledge of medicines, their ability to listen, understand individual patient experiences, and help people navigate complex treatment journeys is equally important. The conversation addresses the pressures reshaping hospital pharmacy, including increasing prescription volumes, workforce shortages, financial constraints, emerging therapies, and changing patient expectations. Carel and Nicolene discuss how the profession can meet these demands without losing the pharmacist-patient relationship that has traditionally defined pharmacy practice. Topics include: What people misunderstand about the work pharmacists perform How pharmacy education must evolve for the next generation Pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, AI, and digital health Preparing pharmacists for business and operational leadership Integrating pharmacists into multidisciplinary care teams Hospital pharmacists’ often-unseen contributions to patient care Pharmacy-led care and its potential to reduce pressure on physicians and hospitals Antibiotic stewardship and expanded clinical responsibilities The continued growth of specialist and prescribing roles Looking ahead, the guests consider a future in which technology manages more routine tasks while pharmacists assume greater responsibility for personalized medicine, clinical decision-making, prescribing, and direct patient care. The future of pharmacy will be more technologically advanced—but its success will still depend on human judgment, empathy, communication, and trust. Host: Todd S. Eury Guests: Carel Bouwer and Nicolene Schoeman Presented in partnership with: Clinigen
