Medical writing by a doctor, for healthcare professionals and patients

I am a seasoned general practitioner and medical writer with over two decades of clinical experience in both the UK and Australia. My work in medical writing is distinguished by a strong emphasis on evidence-based CPD education for GPs and accessible, empowering content for patients.

ABOUT ME

Clinical expertise, translated into clear communication.

My medical qualifications allow me to effectively communicate with and educate healthcare professionals, whilst empowering patients to understand complex health concepts.

My clinical background gives me the skills to understand medical literature and analyse evidence critically, understand the needs of clinicians and patients, and communicate with different audiences. My content and editing ensures the final delivered product is clinically accurate, clear and practical.
