About Elizabeth

I am a passionate medical writer and editor. Through completing my PhD in Health Economics I gained confidence, experience and a great deal of knowledge.
Writing is what I love best. After research delivering the information in various formats. Whitepaper, blog posts, articles, presentations to name a few.
I keep up to date on two blog sites. And post the information to other social media platforms.
Working remotely is what I do best. Although I am a team player and an excellent communicator. Take part in meetings, listen intently and make sure I get accurate details. Getting that information researched and delivered on time. Working to tight deadlines is never a problem.
I enjoy writing about different aspects of health one area and project I have been recently working on is Digital Health: writing an article on virtual reality, and interviewing healthcare staff and families.
Designing leaflets and presentations as well as infographics is work I have recently completed. Reviewing, editing and adjusting a manuscript whilst working to the needs of 6 authors at Roche Diabetes, getting their manuscript ready for journal publication was my priority. Other projects have included reading Academic published papers; and designing infographics - highlighting the drug Biktarvy, for health professionals - Pharma company was delighted with design, wording, timing turnaround, etc.

Elizabeth was very well organized, extremely thorough, and had a high level of communication with the team. She was quick to respond to any inquiry or update to ensure that the project ran smoothly. She was a pleasure to work with and displayed a positive attitude and willingness to provide additional support where needed. We really appreciated the attention to detail she placed on the project, starting with the detailed quote and scope of work, and finishing with a final version of all deliverables. She finished the project within the established timelines without any delays. We would recommend Elizabeth and would consider working with her again on future projects.
