I am a writer and editor with a particular interest in translating complex health and medical information into plain English.
After several years in health policy development and health services management in the UK, I shifted both country and mindset to work for health and disability not-for-profit groups in Australia. These included large peak bodies and small grassroots organisations.
Now, through my freelance business, Healthy Words, I write grant proposals, submissions to government or professional inquiries, media releases, opinion pieces, web content, and consumer health information on behalf of a growing body of clients. One described my work as ‘the best investment our organisation has made in years’.
