clear, credible health communications

from research to patient

When the work is complex, you need a writer who can bring clarity to the brief, confidence to the process, and care to every detail.

health and MEDICAL WRITING SERVICES

The same data lands differently with every audience, whether it’s post-diagnosis patient education or a public health campaign. 

Over more than fifteen years, I have conducted in-depth literature reviews, synthesised complex evidence, and translated that work into a wide range of communications for patients, providers, and the public.  

Drawing on that experience, I help healthcare organisations and agencies solve their most challenging communications needs.

how does
it work?

I work with pharmaceutical companies, health brands, patient advocacy organisations, health tech businesses, digital health platforms, and healthcare communications agencies — always on defined projects, with clear outputs and fixed scope.

I take on a small number of projects at any one time, which means every client gets my best thinking and work I’m genuinely proud to put my name to.

Every project starts with a conversation. Tell me what you need and I’ll be honest about whether I’m the right fit, what’s involved, and what it will cost. 

  • One-off project — A defined piece of work with clear outputs and a fixed scope. Pricing is agreed individually based on the complexity, depth of research required, and timeline.
  • Ongoing project partnerships — Many clients return to me for successive projects over time. These are trusted working relationships built on a track record of quality work. If that’s what you’re looking for, let’s talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you work — project, retainer or day rate?

All of the above. See the “How It Works” section above for more details.

My standard day rate is £600 and my hourly rate is £80. Project pricing is preferred and is agreed individually based on scope, complexity and timeline. Indicative project starting points can be found above in the “How It Works” section. Reach out to me individually for a quote.

For every project I work from primary, peer-reviewed sources where possible. I check that all claims are supported by the references cited, and I flag where the evidence is limited, contested, or emerging rather than presenting uncertain findings as settled fact. I check that uncertainty is represented clearly, and that the confidence of claims is proportionate to what the evidence actually shows.

For regulated communications, I am familiar with ABPI and EFPIA codes and work within the relevant compliance framework for each project type. I understand the difference between what is compliant and what is genuinely balanced — and I aim for both. I am also Plain English-certified, which means accessibility is always built into how I approach a brief, not added at the end. For materials requiring Veeva or similar submission, I can support that process as part of a broader project engagement.

Yes. The majority of my work is covered by NDA, and I am entirely comfortable working within standard confidentiality arrangements. I can provide publicly available writing samples and references on request. Get in touch to discuss what is possible.

I have extensive experience across more than twenty therapy areas including oncology (multiple tumour types), rare disease, infectious diseases, neurology, metabolic conditions, respiratory illness, rheumatology, women’s health, mental health, wound care, and consumer wellness. The full list can be found on the about page. If your area is not listed, get in touch — I will assess fit directly and honestly.

Yes, and I often work within or alongside healthcare and med comms agencies across PR, medical education, creative, and strategy. I understand agency workflows, timelines, and what it takes to integrate seamlessly with an existing team and client relationship because I personally worked for and led writing teams within agency set-ups.

Timelines are agreed at the outset, and I work to them. I am selective about the projects I take on so that I can give each one the time and attention it deserves. For urgent requirements, get in touch, and I will let you know honestly what is possible.

Yes. I ghostwrite for pharmaceutical executives, medical affairs leads, patient advocates, and healthcare professionals. All ghostwritten work is produced with the same standards of accuracy, care, and ethical awareness as any other project.I expect to be acknowledged for my contributions in accordance with current academic standards of integrity if I am commissioned to ghostwrite a manuscript.
