One main advantage I have is that I am usually available for late notice editing and writing. I am currently regularly employed as medical editor of Diabetes Management Journal, Cardiology in General Practice and I am a part-time general practitioner in St Ives. I am happy to write for any other scientific publications as I strongly believe in the advancement of scientific theory.
