What support do *you* want from the MedComms Mentor?


Hi Reader

I have some exciting news to share with you: I have reached 300 subscribers on my YouTube channel!

This is a huge milestone for me and I couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you so much for watching, liking, commenting and sharing my videos. You are awesome!

As the MedComms Mentor, my goal is to provide you with the best support possible to help you build the right MedComms career for you.

That’s why I need your feedback.

I've created a short survey to ask you about the topics you want me to cover in my future YouTube videos, but also in training courses, mentoring sessions and other types of support. It will only take a few minutes of your time and will help me make sure everything I do is as useful as possible.

I want to hear from you whether you're looking for your first MedComms job, you're working as a writer at an agency, you're a freelancer, or you're a MedComms agency leader.

As a token of my gratitude, everyone who completes the survey and includes their email address (which is totally optional – you can complete it anonymously if you prefer) will be entered into a prize draw to win a £10/$10/€10 book token. If you win, I’ll be in touch to make sure it’s the best format for you to use.

The survey will close on Wednesday 15th November so don’t miss this opportunity!

To take the survey, please click on this link.

Alternatively, you can just pop me a reply to this email with any thoughts or feedback. I'm always happy to hear from you!

All the best

Eleanor

MedComms Mentor

PS. There's still time to sign up for the live training on writing tests on Friday 17th November or MedComms interviews on Friday 24th November. If you have any questions just reply to this email and I'll see what I can do!

Hi Reader #MedComms day is nearly here! On Wednesday 12th June, we will celebrate all the quirks and wonder of working in MedComms. You can find the full list of events on medcommsday.com – including things happening online and in-person – but I wanted to tell you about the two I'll be hosting.

It shouldn't just be the agencies that have all the...

Hi Reader I am thrilled to announce that I am taking over the management of the MedComms Workbook service for freelancers in MedComms from its founder, Peter Llewellyn.

As part of this transition, we’ve launched a community on the Heartbeat platform for the Workbook subscribers. This online space is dedicated to fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and supporting freelancers. You can...

Hi Reader Had you heard of MedComms when you were 15? I certainly hadn't! I've had a request from a school in London asking for a work experience opportunity in the spring/summer for a Year 10 student who is keen to become a medical writer. If you work for an agency based in London that might be able to help, please let me know! If you're actually hoping to start your own MedComms career but are a little beyond Year 10 work experience, you might find the First MedComms Job event at the...
