Romey Chopra
Romey Chopra is a qualified pharmacist with a degree from the University of Leicester and a master’s from the University of Nottingham, graduating in 1990. With over 30 years of experience spanning the pharmaceutical industry, hospital, and retail sectors, Romey has dedicated his career to improving health and wellbeing in a variety of settings.
In 2007, Romey expanded his commitment to care by acquiring a dementia care home in Cumbria, which continues to operate successfully today. Between 2013 and 2016, he also co-founded About Face, an aesthetics brand in India, bringing together medical expertise and innovation in skincare.
Alongside his healthcare ventures, Romey is the Director of Chopra Property Group, an award-winning property development company recognised for its quality, vision, and community focus.
Romey’s philosophy is simple yet powerful: health is wealth. He believes that too often we take our health for granted, reacting only when problems arise rather than taking proactive steps toward wellness. This belief inspired the creation of The DNA Henley Clinic, a concept designed to empower people to take control of their health through a more informed, preventative, and personalised approach to wellbeing.
Fun Fact: Romey has been happily married for 30 years and is a proud father of two wonderful children, both set to graduate as doctors next year. Outside of work, you’ll often find him on the badminton court or out cycling.
