Medical communications & education
Medical-communications projects tend to move quickly. Deadlines shift and teams are stretched – and accuracy isn't optional.
I provide flexible editorial support to medical-communications and medical-education agencies, adding reliable capacity when it’s needed.
I work on both planned projects and short-notice requests.
How I help
I’m used to working within established processes and style guides, and fitting into existing workflows without disruption.
I often support teams when internal editorial capacity is stretched or temporarily unavailable.
I can help with:
-
copyediting and proofreading
-
terminology and style consistency
-
plain-English editing for non-specialist audiences
-
translation and localisation checks against master files and final designs
-
journal pre-submission checks
The result is content that meets scientific, style-guide and audience requirements – delivered on schedule and ready to use.
Typical documents
-
Educational materials
-
Slide decks and training content
-
Conference materials
-
Advisory board reports
-
Patient and HCP communications
Why external editing helps
Internal teams are often working to tight – and sometimes shifting – deadlines.
I provide an independent check on clarity, accuracy and consistency before delivery or submission.

I have worked with Jo for over a decade ... Jo is simply one of the best editors and proofreaders I have ever worked with. She is 100% reliable, extremely professional and her eye for detail and identification of potential for misinterpretation are second to none. She is also a lovely person with a very infectious laugh! I would recommend her services to anyone who needs editorial or proofreading service.
