 Medical Writing Consultant

yvonne.a@stsspecialists.com

I am a Medical Writer with a strong global health background and an advocate for the use of patient-reported data to improve healthcare. I have extensive communications experience with regulatory and governmental bodies (MHRA, FDA, WHO), leading life science companies, healthcare professionals and the public. I have worked across a wide array of therapies from infectious diseases (RSV, HIV, COVID-19, paediatric vaccines), oncology, dermatology, respiratory, rare diseases and gene therapies to fertility and women's health (for research and communications support please send me a message).



In 2017 I represented the International Federation of Surgical Colleges at the WHO Antimicrobial Resistance Consultation. Additionally, I was a 2018 Young Voice of the Future science representative, advancing global health issues at UK parliamentary level. More recently, I contributed to seminal COVID-19 projects, including: comprehensive editorial services for the breakthrough mRNA antibody treatment; a Lancet publication of a phase 3 trial investigating IV immunoglobulins; an emergency protocol synopsis exploring hydroxychloroquine treatment; and public-facing as well as internal corporate communications for the International Respiratory Coalition, a multi-sectorial post-COVID initiative. In 2023 I worked at Director level in Life Science sector communications.

My work with patient data and outcomes research intersects medicines development, health systems governance and healthcare democracy. In addition to my scientific training, I draw from qualitative and anthropological perspectives as well as UX/UI design approaches for healthcare technologies. I am a member of the Executive Group of Use My Data, the Patient and Public Involvement Group at DATA-CAN, the Clinical Trials Methodology Steering Group, University of Sheffield and the NIHR Informatics and Precision Care Group.
