Medical Editor & Writer | Practising GP | Academic & CME Content

Profile Summary

I am a practising General Practitioner offering medical editing and writing services for academic manuscripts, CME/CPD material, and professional healthcare content. My work focuses on clarity, logical structure, and clinical accuracy. Beyond language correction, I help ensure that arguments are coherent, terminology is precise, and content is medically sound. This is particularly valuable for non-native English authors and for research that is technically robust but difficult to read. In addition to editing, I provide medical writing support, including: Assisting with manuscript development and restructuring Drafting or refining review articles and educational content Creating or editing CME/CPD material Clinically reviewing health and wellness content for accuracy and balance I aim to preserve the author’s voice while improving readability and precision. I do not alter data or perform statistical analysis, but I will flag areas where interpretation or wording may be unclear or potentially misleading. I value clear scope, realistic timelines, and collaborative communication, particularly for authors preparing work for journal submission or educational use.
