I can also assist with conducting literature reviews (systematic or non-systematic), as well as designing research studies and conducting data analysis using R Studio.

I'm a UK-based healthcare professional combining clinical expertise with strong written communication and a sharp eye for accuracy. I hold a Master's in Public Health from the University of Salford and a Bachelor's in Pharmacy, with hands-on experience across hospital pharmacy and NHS mental health settings — most recently at Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust in Greater Manchester. My combined background in clinical practice, pharmacology, and public health gives me something rare on freelance platforms: the ability to produce healthcare content that is genuinely medically accurate, written in plain English, and grounded in real-world clinical context — not just keyword-optimised filler. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 • Patient education articles on medications, mental health, chronic conditions, and preventative care • UK-focused health blog posts and clinical content for clinics, telehealth services, and healthcare brands • Pharmacy and medication FAQs, dosage guides, side-effect explanations, and patient information leaflets • Care home, elderly care, and family-facing healthcare content (dementia awareness, end-of-life communication, daily living support) • Mental health content with sensitivity and clinical awareness • Plain English NHS-aware writing that reads naturally to a UK audience 𝗔𝗜 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 & 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 • LLM evaluation and response rating, particularly in clinical, medical, and pharmacy contexts • Medical content review, fact-checking, and validation against current guidelines • Healthcare-related data annotation and quality assurance for AI training datasets • Search Quality Rating and structured evaluation work • Strict adherence to detailed guidelines, ethical standards, and confidentiality requirements 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗲 • Genuine clinical credentials — not a general writer guessing at medical content • UK-based and NHS-trained — content sounds naturally British, with appropriate NHS context • Native English speaker with strong written communication • Familiar with handling sensitive health information confidentially and responsibly • Reliable turnaround, clear communication, and willingness to revise until the work is right • Combine clinical accuracy with accessible writing — content patients and families can actually understand 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 I treat every project as a collaboration. I'll clarify your brief upfront — target audience, tone, word count, required references, and any compliance needs — so the first draft lands close to what you want. I'm comfortable working independently on long-term content engagements or slotting into existing project frameworks for one-off tasks. I deliver work that's been read, edited, and proofread before it reaches you. If revisions are needed, I'll handle them quickly and without fuss. 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 I'm available to start immediately and open to both short-term tasks and ongoing contracts. I respond promptly to messages and respect deadlines. If you're looking for a healthcare writer or AI content specialist who actually understands clinical material, I'd be glad to discuss your project.
