Ravi is a pharmacist and graduate of the London School of Pharmacy, holds a Masters in Genomic Medicines and has been awarded fellowship by the Faculty of UK Clinical Informatics. He is currently the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Director for England as well as continuing to work as a GP practice prescribing pharmacist.
We chat to Ravi about his passion for pharmacogenomics and how it might revolutionise pharmacy practice alongside the role of a professional body in a pandemic. We ask him to select his career anthem, a book that has influenced his career and of course his ‘Desert Island Drug’.
Our Micro discussion is about Penicillin De-labelling. We refer to the following reports;
