Sharing knowledge and steering discussions

I'm a writer who also enjoys nattering. So I'm always pleased to have the opportunity to teach or speak about my areas of expertise. To that end, I deliver training and mentorship on editorial skills; teach clients about specific aspects of the NHS, whether through face-to-face presentations or written material; and chair webinars and other such events.

Notable projects

• Regular chairing of webinars and roundtables for publications including Digital Health and HSJ

• Podcast host for Nursing Standard

• Creation and delivery of writing skills workshop for NHS Confederation

• Creation and delivery of writing skills workshop for charitable organisation IDP Foundation, supplemented by one-to-one coaching

• Creation and delivery of features and editing training programme for a team at BVA Journals, with follow up one-to-one workshops

• Formal and informal mentoring of a number of colleagues

• Interviewee for Radio 4 Profile programme on Sir Bradley Wiggins

Special skills

• A friendly manner, a good sense of humour, and a thorough understanding of the complexities of the public sector and of creating engaging editorial about it

• Extensive experience of interviewing individuals, including for video content

• A voice which a teacher once told me would be ideal for hosting for The Shipping Forecast. (I like to think he meant it was clear, calm and authoritative. I think you have to be when you're telling people about gales.)
