Do you need a media expert with specialist knowledge of health and medicine? The Public Directory of the Medical Journalists’ Association provides details of members who are available for consultancy and freelance commissions.
You can search the Directory for members by name, or by the services you need — such as report writing, media training and crisis communications. Fees will depend on experience.
As a membership organisation, the MJA cannot make any specific recommendations so we suggest that you check members’ profiles and websites for details of relevant experience and client feedback.

I’m a freelance writer specialising in healthcare and medical journalism. My work can regularly be found in healthcare and medical journals as well as consumer health titles from time to time.
Some examples of the healthcare and medical titles I’ve written for include Doctors.net.uk, CareKnowledge, Community Practitioner, Raconteur, British Journal of Healthcare Management, Leadership Issues in Social Care, Primary Health Care, Nursing Standard, Practice Business, Medical News Today and Guardian Social Care.
Consumer health titles I’ve contributed to include Be Healthy, Top Sante, Weight Watchers, Your Healthy Living and Candis. I’ve also previously worked as a staff writer for Saga Exceptional (a digital site) where I led on mental wellbeing and brain health content.
I’ve been an MJA Awards finalist in both 2019 and 2017, and I was also a finalist in the Guild of Health Writers Awards in 2016.
