What is medical writing?

Medical writing involves communicating complex scientific and medical information through various written formats. This can include creating content for websites, brochures, books, and news articles, as well as preparing scientific publications, posters, and regulatory documents by refining and organising data, clearly articulating findings and referencing published research.

Medical writers often work closely with doctors and scientists in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to develop content for a wide range of communication goals.
