Medical Communications

Patient Advisory Group (PAG) communications, project management and market research. Clients include commercial agencies, pharmaceuticals, medical device clients, national charities and the European Commission (Prime Patient, Oxford Pharmagenesis, Four Health, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Chiesi Pharmaceuticals, Terrence Higgins Trust, EU Public Health).

I help you navigate patient relationships and the PAG environment, uncovering opportunities for dialogue in which clients can share their perspectives, working cooperatively with stakeholders to create resources that can truly change patient experience and practice.

I work with agencies, pharma and medical device clients across Europe and the Middle East - from disease awareness, media outreach, market research, and thought leadership to health service design, resource and policy development. M4RD ‘Rare Disease 101’ completed 2022.
