I started at HCG as an Associate Medical Writer in early 2021, having since progressed to an SMW and learning about the various aspects of medical communications along the way. In my role, I lead projects from a strategy and content development perspective, ensuring the delivery of impactful tactics that support our pharmaceutical clients’ brand strategy. My day-to-day consists of creating educational materials targeted at healthcare professionals on a variety of topics, including disease background and clinical trial data, as well as providing guidance to junior team members to help with their career development.
Medical writing roles at HCG are best suited for candidates who have a passion for learning about advancements in the field of medicine and making the science behind it accessible. Having a background in science is definitely a benefit, as this can help you get stuck in the therapy area your team works on, analysing and creating content with confidence.
One of my favourite parts of the job is working at the forefront of science; there is always opportunity to learn something new not only about advancements in drug development and disease awareness, but also key updates from within the pharmaceutical industry. HCG is also an extremely collaborative environment, so you can expect to work with specialists within a multitude of fields, ranging from strategy to design and video production, making each day a bit different.
