I am a freelance medical writer working in health and medical education. My business focuses on Needs Assessment writing for educational grant proposals, and I also write for the independent health platform, ‘Patient’. My background is in bioinorganic chemistry and before becoming a medical writer I completed postdoctoral research in drug delivery systems for diabetes, and developed polymers as scaffolds for stem cells in bone regeneration therapies in the treatment of osteoporosis and bone cancer. As a science writer, I have contributed to various online sources, including the science magazine ‘Frontiers’ which is a publication of the Orkney Science Festival, taking part in a series of articles on the topic of metals in medicine. As a new member of the MJA, I am looking forward to meeting new colleagues in the future. http://rosswrite.com

I have been working as a journalist for more than six years. Having started my career in local newspapers, I have also worked in trade press and online, and am now a staff writer for the British Medical Association’s in-house news title and website.

In the two years that I have been at the BMA, I have had the opportunity to report on a wide range of pressing medical issues, not least extensive and in-depth coverage of the junior doctor contract dispute.
As well as providing news and analysis on a daily and weekly basis for association members, working at the BMA has also provided me the opportunity to carry out independent investigations into pressing medico-political topics such as devolution of healthcare.

Immediately prior to joining the BMA and beginning my focus on medical journalism, I was working on freelance basis covering everything from criminal court cases to celebrity interviews.
