Congratulations to new Professor of General Practice

Andrew Farmer, one of our Fellows in Physiological Sciences, has been awarded a personal professorial chair, and now becomes Professor of General Practice. This honour is particularly impressive, because Professor Farmer came to academic life later than most of his colleagues, after a career as a practising GP. His special interest is the management of patients with diabetes.

In his time at Exeter, he has helped the College with everything from responding to swine flu to promoting our scholarships in India.
