About me

Hello, I'm Nick.

As a senior freelance medical copywriter, I collaborate with global pharma companies and medcomms agencies to deliver concise, creative, and impactful medical communications. From interactive digital sales aids to engaging patient education materials, my work is crafted to resonate with both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients, ensuring clarity, engagement, and compliance at every stage.

From Avastin to Zoladex, I’ve worked on some of the biggest-selling pharma brands, contributing to global sales aids, patient education, strategic messaging, and launch campaigns. My portfolio spans promotional writing, medical communications, and scientific content development, with a strong focus on oncology.

What sets me apart is my ability to simplify complex medical topics and turn them into clear, compelling narratives. This approach has consistently enhanced audience engagement and helped my clients achieve their communication goals with confidence, driving results that matter.

Here is what my clients say

I've helped over 100+ clients worldwide improve their medical communications

I worked with Nick over a number of months to deliver a website project for prostate cancer patients and health care professionals. The previous experience Nick bought to the project was invaluable and ensured the project was both a success and delivered on time

Tony McAuley, AstraZeneca

The content is really great - engaging, informative and very well written!

Valeria Shvak, Real Chemistry

Nick's work is of a consistently high standard, meticulous and well thought through. An absolute pleasure to work with - he is reliable, flexible and accommodating. Nick's approach remains the same, no matter the nature or size of the project - and I would more than recommend him.

Sarah Fleming, McCann

For the last 18 months, Nick provided us with excellent support in medical writing for our nephrology product in the area of medical affairs, including slide sets for clinical trials, training materials, presentations for symposia and minutes of advisory board. The quality of his output has been consistently good.

Moses Huang, Astellas

Thanks so much Nick – you have been a superstar these last couple of months!

I note that you’ve sent us this well ahead of the deadline – thank you so much for your efficiency, Nick! It’s really appreciated.

Anjalee Perera, Iceberg Medical

Nick delivered great work, on time and on budget always going to the nth degree to deliver. On a number of occasions Nick has provided an extremely professional service whilst working through the night to originate, amend and review work for the following morning.

Jon Clark, Huntsworth Health

Nick is a dream to work with. He remains calm under pressure and consistently delivers high-quality, accurate work. And he’s a very nice person, a kind and thoughtful colleague who is always happy to share his knowledge and expertise. He’s equally patient with people who understand the science behind our products and with those who don’t.
