Who I Write For

Healthcare Professionals

Patients

Plain-language materials that stay scientifically accurate, so patients understand their options without oversimplification.

One Study, Four Readers

One fictional trial result, written as a publication, a clinical summary, an MSL narrative and a patient leaflet.

Multilingual work

How I Work

A defined reader and purpose

Every document is written for one audience and one purpose. Promotional and non-promotional material are kept clearly separate, so each piece suits the setting in which it will be used.

Claims anchored in evidence

Scientific statements rest on approved data and reliable sources, with every reference traceable. The text stays balanced and consistent with the evidence for the medicine or disease.

Checked before release

Each document is proofread for consistency, safety and tone, and referenced against its sources. Where relevant, disclosure and documentation requirements are built in from the start.

Typical outputs

  • Clinical trial summaries and evidence communication
  • Mechanism of action and treatment pathway content
  • Educational materials and slide decks for healthcare professionals
  • Briefing packs, medical information Q&A and congress summaries for medical affairs and MSLs
  • Patient information in plain language
  • Medical proofreading of documents and slide decks

Physician first, writer second

I think like a clinician, so the science is right and the message is useful. Because I have treated patients, I know which details change a decision and which only add noise, and I write for the first kind.
