Making healthcare copy sing for your audience

I’ve been a freelance journalist specialising in healthcare content for several years, so I understand how to adapt my writing to what your audience needs. 

To effectively engage and inform your audience on relevant healthcare issues, I write both topical news pieces and in-depth features to share unique perspectives.

  • Topical news writing – keep your audience informed about topical healthcare research via what’s the latest articles, fast turnaround pieces written as part of a news shift, and conference reporting 
  • Features and analysis – expand on news angles with leading expert insight via shorter and longer form features and in-depth topic focuses
  • Advertorial and sponsored content – as a specialist healthcare journalist, I can help to share thought leader insight on developing and prominent issues via sponsored supplement copy, advertorial articles and features
  • Media consultancy services – tap into my health journalist brain and receive campaign and market research feedback, so you can better engage your audience

My expertise lies in taking on a health topic, and really understanding what the target audience needs and wants to know. I ask the right questions so I can write about complex clinical topics, and distil those key need-to-knows into reader-friendly content.

Are you looking for an experienced healthcare writer to produce well-researched, concise copy?

I’d love to help.
