Book Me For Medical Writing and Health Communications Speaking Opportunities

With over 13 years in healthcare communications—both as a senior agency writer and as a freelancer— I write clear, engaging health content and copy for my clients… and now bring that expertise to podcasts, panels, workshops and conferences as a guest speaker. 

I can also help shape sessions with slides or supporting materials, ensuring your event runs smoothly and leaves a lasting impression.

TOPICS I CAN SPEAK ABOUT

  • Storytelling for websites – crafting authentic, persuasive messaging for healthcare brands
  • Writing for patient engagement – creating content that is clear, empathetic and actionable
  • Translating complex science – making medical and clinical information accessible
  • Storytelling in health campaigns – creating content that educates, motivates and inspires action
  • Simplifying complex topics without losing accuracy
  • And more…
  • Routes into medical writing – breaking into the industry with confidence
  • From agency to freelance – navigating the transition successfully
  • Marketing your freelance business – getting seen, noticed and hired
  • Running a freelance business – systems, mindset and sustainable growth
  • And more…
  • Understanding heath literacy – how does health literacy affect understanding and outcomes
  • Science communication beyond medical writing – sharing scientific ideas in non-clinical contexts, e.g., with educators or policymakers
  • Using visual storytelling – infographics, animations, and interactive content for complex health topics
  • And more…
