A READING doctor has been shortlisted in national awards for his outstanding achievement as an individual learner.
Dr Deepak Ravindran has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Federation of Awarding Bodies’ (FAB) awards.
The consultant in anaesthesia, pain and musculoskeletal medicine is currently completing his honor’s degree in Applied Management at Henley Business School(HBS) which is part of the University of Reading, and is due to complete his training early next year.
The FAB Awards, held today, recognise the contributions made by awarding organisations, including the business school.
Dr Ravindran, who is also the author of the book Pain Free Mindset and the lead for the Berkshire long covid service, said he is delighted to be nominated and shortlisted for the award.
He said: “Within the NHS lifelong learning is a fact of life in order to keep up to date with the latest clinical findings and to promote education and research.
“The apprenticeship has now helped me to become a systems thinker and understand population health and the economics of heathcare and apply that for the benefit of my organisation and my department.”
