In the first of two episodes on the subject of Genomics-informed medicines optimisation, Jonathan is joined by Vicky Chaplin and Paul Selby.
Vicky is the Senior Clinical Lead for the Genomics Unit at NHS England, overseeing the multidisciplinary healthcare professional team and their associated workstreams. She is part of the Chief Pharmacist In England, David Webb’s Senior Leadership Team and Pharmacy Advisory Group – to ensure the work is coordinated across pharmacy and medicines developments across the NHS and government.
Vicky has worked in various sectors of pharmacy in the NHS and has also worked as a Medical Advisor in the pharmaceutical industry. She is qualified as an independent prescriber, specialising in diabetes care.
Joining Vicky is Paul Selby, a Consultant Pharmacist in Genomics, working at East Genomics. Paul has worked in several trusts, but developed his interest in genomics whilst looking after patients with rare and inherited diseases at Cambridge University Hospital Foundation Trust.
In this first episode we introduce the concept of genomics-informed medicines optimisation, and discuss what is happening at both National and Local level in the NHS on this.
