Introduction to medical writing course

This 1-day course is aimed at anyone interested in becoming a medical writer. It is also of interest to those who have to work with medical writers (eg CRAs, medical statisticians, data managers) and who would like to develop a better understanding of the medical writing process. Please note that the course is at an introductory level and is therefore not suitable for experienced medical writers.

Topics covered:

  • General overview of medical writing
  • Different medical writing environments
  • How to get started in medical writing
  • Good writing style

The course will next run on 17 September 2010, at the Park Plaza County Hall, a hotel in a convenient central London location.  The standard course fee is £300 plus VAT, but this is reduced to £250 plus VAT for bookings received by 17 July. Please click here to download the registration form.

Please note that places are limited, and the last time we ran this course it was over-subscribed, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

If you are already an experienced medical writer and are looking for more advanced training in medical writing, you may be interested in our 2-day course, and we can also highly recommend the courses run by the European Medical Writers Association.

    The first nomination goes to Vince Cable. This surprises me, as he is one of the [...]
