Health, medical and scientific communication

​​

​​When your science is strong but your message isn't landing — that's where I come in

​

I help health, medical and scientific organisations turn complex ideas, data and projects into communication that actually moves people. Not more content. Clearer thinking, sharper strategy and messages that connect with audiences.

​

What I do

Most organisations in health and science don't have a content problem. They have a communication problem — and there's a difference.

 

I bring 18 years of scientific expertise and strategic communication experience to every project, helping you find the right message, for the right audience, at the right moment.

​

​I specialise in:

• Grant funding: compelling, strategically positioned proposals that unlock grant funding for impactful research, projects and services.

• Health, medical and scientific communication: translating complex data and findings into clear, accessible and evidence-based narratives that are tailored to clinicians, patients, policy makers or the public.

• Content strategy and editorial support: ensuring data and content are high quality and crafted to inform, engage and influence, no matter how they are delivered — government publications, research impact reports, apps, website copy, healthcare professional resources or stakeholder communications.
