He holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, as well as an MBA with a focus on IT-driven business strategy and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.

Dr Doro is also an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), where he has worked across urgent care, walk-in centres, GP practices, and hospital settings.
