Kind words and success stories

White paper on direct-to-patient digital recruitment for a rare disease clinical trial platform
Raremark, a digital platform connecting rare disease patients with clinical trial opportunities, needed a white paper that could articulate the case for direct-to-patient recruitment. I wrote a white paper drawing on Raremark's accumulated recruitment data and original expert interviews to set out the landscape of digital clinical trial recruitment, explore the structural reasons for the persistent gap between physician referral and patient need, and distil the key factors that determine whether a direct-to-patient recruitment programme succeeds or fails.

A five-article series on clinical inertia in chronic wound care
OmniaMed, on behalf of Smith+Nephew, needed a writer to turn the output of an international expert advisory board meeting into a peer-reviewed article series for Wounds International. The challenge was to translate complex, multi-stakeholder clinical discussions into authoritative, accessible publications that would resonate with a specialist clinical audience and drive meaningful change in practice. I transformed the advisory board proceedings into structured, evidence-based meeting reports covering the systemic and behavioural barriers to best practice in chronic wound care, strategies for improving education and standardisation, and the role of implementation science in driving lasting clinical change.

Therapist directory article for a mental health and alternative wellness platform
States of Mind, a mental health and alternative wellness platform, needed a well-researched, clinically credible article to help people living with depression find the right therapist — one that was warm and accessible enough for a general audience, while meeting the platform's evidence-based editorial standards and expert review process. I researched and wrote a vetted therapist directory for depression in the UK, covering how to evaluate and select a specialist, the difference between therapists and psychiatrists, and a curated list of verified practitioners. The article was reviewed by a clinical psychologist and published under my byline.

Full brand positioning and website copy for a new podiatry business
MM Podiatry came to me for content support, but when I reviewed what existed, it became clear the real need was bigger than copy. This was an innovative podiatry business built around three integrated pillars — 3D-printed orthotics, digital rehabilitation, and return-to-activity programmes — and the messaging, positioning, and content needed to reflect that from the ground up. I developed the full positioning and evidence framework for the business, defined the messaging across all three pillars, and wrote the complete website copy — working alongside an SEO specialist to ensure the content would perform as well as it reads. The result was a complete brand communications foundation for a new podiatry business, from strategic positioning to every word on the website.
