Consultancy
Agency leaders often have their hands full, with a multitude of responsibilities. Client work takes precedence over internal concerns, leaving very little time to develop the team and their capabilities.
The MedComms Mentor provides bespoke consultancy and support to help you build, train and nurture the most appropriate and effective team.

Training a scientific team
Being an experienced leader in a MedComms agency means you have a vast array of knowledge and skills that you want to share with your team. Unfortunately, you rarely have the time to deliver the training you know your team needs to develop and fulfil their potential.
During my time working in-house in a variety of MedComms agencies, I gained experience across the spectrum of capabilities needed to progress from new medical writer to Scientific Director and beyond.
Since working as the MedComms Mentor, I’ve coupled this experience with a focus on effective training techniques, to develop and deliver training in the most useful way.
How can the MedComms Mentor help?
I provide bespoke consultancy and training design insights and recommendations to MedComms agencies. This includes support for one-off sessions based on specific training needs, and full training programmes.
This support is focused on scientific team development, from new starters with no medical writing experience, through to Scientific Directors and beyond.
Depending on your agency’s specific situation, this support can include:
- Review of existing materials and/or programmes
- Learning needs assessment
- Recommendations for programme structure, design and delivery
- One-off session recommendations
- Training development and delivery
