Medical Copywriter

Description:

Are you a trained medical writer with more to give? At DH London, you can use your expertise and start to spread your creative wings. Join an agency bringing a human touch and a digital mindset to the world of healthcare.
 

As a Medical Copywriter at DH London, you’ll be responsible for helping your clients and colleagues to navigate the maze of scientific language to find the compelling human truths at the centre. What does that look like? In this role you will be called on to pick apart a scientific paper, and to translate data and academia-speak for a range of audiences. Then, once you’ve turned the science into story, you’ll be able to reference it solidly enough to survive contact with even the strictest medical review.
 

You know enough to be capable of assessing your own work to ensure you’re not overstepping the legal and regulatory bounds of pharma. You will come to this role with experience in medical writing, but a desire to spread your wings a bit. We believe great ideas come from anywhere and everywhere. That means however deep into the science you get, we’ll be working to help you find the stories in the data and tell them in the most creative, engaging and effective way possible.
 

Our work ranges from print to social and web comms all the way through to digital products, machine learning or AR/VR and we’ll aim to give you the opportunities and skills to create content for all these channels. We’re always trying to make something new so every job will present unanticipated technical challenges and questions – we want you to be one of the people suggesting the answers.
 

Finally, our work is all aimed at real people, dealing with real conditions, whose lives are influenced for better or worse by what we produce. You’ll know how to talk to them in their language. Whether presenting to clients, writing for patients or collaborating with colleagues, you’ll know the right way to phrase your point to get the desired results.
