This podcast is a recording of a live #MedComms webinar.
In this webinar we’re joined by Kathryn White, author of our careers guide, “Making it my own business: a guide to being a freelance writer in MedComms” along with Steph Carter who has contributed her personal profile story to the latest edition. We’ll talk about how MedComms is an area that offers experienced medical writers the opportunity to ‘go it alone’, with plenty of variety in terms of the type of projects and therapeutic areas. However, working as a freelancer means running a business. It’s not enough to simply be a good writer. You’ll also be responsible for sales, marketing, IT support, training, finance and more. And these are particularly challenging times. So, what does it take to be a successful freelance medical writer? And we answer questions from the audience.
It should be of interest to anyone working in and around MedComms, but in particular to anyone who has already taken the leap into freelancing or is about to do so.

This podcast is a recording of a live #MedComms webinar.
The past few years have seen the MedComms business boom and interest from investors soar. In November 2021, James West, Director, Pharma Services M&A at Lincoln International published an Opinion article in PR Week arguing that 2021 will be known as the year MedComms M&A Went Into Overdrive. In this webinar, James reflects on the reasons behind that interest and provides insight into the challenges posed, for acquirers and acquirees. But how is the MedComms business being defined and how will it evolve over coming years? Does it warrant the investment interest? Charlie Buckwell (Chief Medical Communications Officer, IPG Health) and Gail Flockhart (Group President at Fishawack Health) join James to discuss the state of the market. And we answer questions from the audience.
It should be of interest to anyone who is working in and around MedComms, or who is wanting to join the business.
