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.
