Take control of your MedComms career

Being in control of your own career means making choices with intention and ownership.

If you’re not in control of your career, you might feel:

Frustrated and overwhelmed
Stuck in a rut
Unsure of what you want
Overlooked as other people progress

Help your team take control of their MedComms careers

Things are changing rapidly in MedComms. How do you advise someone on their options when the world looks very different from when you started out?

Medical writing is the basis of such a broad range of potential career paths, and helping your team find the right route can be complex. How do you approach this with someone who has very different strengths and skills to your own?

Take control of your freelance career

Taking time to set up your freelance career with intention is never wasted though, and can be valuable whether you’ve been freelance for 10 minutes or 10 years.

Being a freelance medical writer can be liberating and wonderfully flexible, but can feel unstable or precarious if you’re not in control of the path you’re taking. Striking the right balance is tough, especially if you’re fresh out of an agency job. It’s also hard to justify time to ponder how to approach your freelance business – any time that isn’t being charged to a client can feel wasted.

Testimonials

“I recently attended a series of training sessions for senior medical writers with Eleanor. Eleanor provided clear and engaging direction on multiple aspects of writing style and reviewing. The trainings reinforced certain skills, and provided new tips for working within a team, reviewing the work of others, and achieving the perfect balance in storytelling for any project type.
Highly recommend!”

Eleanor designed and delivered two fantastic 2-hour training sessions for our team. Right from the start, she strived to understand our agency and how we operate, to make sure the training was perfectly tailored to our needs. The training itself was thorough, well-structured and highly interactive, which really kept the team engaged throughout. I would definitely recommend Eleanor as a trainer, and would work with her again in a heartbeat!

“Eleanor has developed several bespoke training courses for us. She clearly understands the workings of medical communications, and delivers relevant and high-quality courses.
Our writers love them!”

Eleanor has mentored our senior scientific team, focusing on their development as individuals but in the context of how our business is growing. With her support, they have each stepped up and taken on broader responsibilities, expanding their leadership within our internal teams and the strategic partnerships they provide to our clients. Eleanor brings a wealth of experience that our team has not only learnt from, but that has contributed to the growth of our capabilities and expertise. Eleanor has played an intrinsic role in our business and we hugely value her support, guidance and experience, and would not hesitate to recommend working with her.
