Rising Star
As a UK-registered pharmacist for over five years, Neel has built a specialist healthcare management consultant career – challenging the conventional path of clinical practice. His time in community, hospital and prison pharmacy exposed deep frustrations with how healthcare is arranged and delivered, a sentiment shared by patients seeking access to equitable care and medicines. A Pharma-sponsored doctorate affirmed Neel’s belief that the industry was not the primary barrier to accessing optimal healthcare. Witnessing this disparity grow wider during COVID-19, he is determined to work at the intersection of healthcare and Life Sciences to maximise access to innovation for patient benefit and shape his commitments to tackling health inequalities.
Transforming patient healthcare pathways is central to this mission. Neel draws on frontline experience, medicines and data expertise, and a strong grasp of governance to help clients and colleagues navigate the often-frustrating barriers to personalised care. This combination of personal mastery and embracing the consultancy toolkit, principles embedded into all his work, have enabled him to make a big impact in a short amount of time.
Neel’s expertise is further demonstrated through exceptional business development, where he clearly articulates client propositions within the required context, reframing investment into priority areas and co-developing approaches that maximise added value and patient impact. He is a strong advocate for “breaking the rules”, evident in his continued pursuit to mentor the next generation of healthcare professionals entering this sector.
