I help NHS and healthcare organisations communicate healthcare clearly, safely, and credibly - from training teams to delivering national-level public engagement campaigns.

The problem

The problem

Trusts know what needs to be communicated: service changes, pathway updates, recruitment, safety campaigns. The problem is how.

As a result, important messages are often missed, misunderstood, or delayed, despite significant time and effort invested in creating them.

For organisations

I turn priority healthcare messages into clear, human communication - spoken plainly, delivered confidently, and designed for how people actually pay attention.

So messages don’t just go out.
They land, make sense, and drive action.

Still have questions?

Who do you work with?

I work with NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Systems (ICS/ICBs), National health bodies, charities, and healthcare organisations looking to improve how they communicate with staff and the public through clear, clinician-led digital content.

What type of work do you offer?

I provide clinician-led digital communication support tailored to the needs of each organisation. This can include hands-on content creation, behind-the-scenes support, advisory input, or staff training. Depending on the organisation, this may involve: Filming and producing clinician-led short-form explainer content Working behind the scenes to shape messaging, structure, and tone Advising communications teams on digital communication and short-form content strategy Training staff in safe, effective use of short-form platforms and clinician-led communication The approach is flexible - some organisations want delivery, others want capability-building, and many need a combination of both.

Is this consultancy, content creation, or training?

It can be any of the above, depending on the organisation’s goals and internal capacity. Some teams ask me to: Create or co-produce content directly Provide advisory support alongside existing communications teams Deliver training or workshops to build internal confidence and skills Support pilot projects or test new approaches to digital communication. The focus is always on clarity, trust, and safe communication.

Do you work as an individual or as part of a wider team?

This depends on the project. I primarily work as an individual, drawing on my experience as an NHS doctor and healthcare communicator. Where appropriate, I bring on an extended team on projects.

Why clinician-led communication?

Healthcare communication is more effective when it is delivered by someone with lived clinical experience. Clinician-led content helps build trust, improves clarity, and reduces misunderstanding - particularly when explaining complex or sensitive healthcare topics.

What platforms do you work with?

My experience is primarily with short-form digital platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, but the principles of clear, accessible communication apply across all digital channels. 

Is this about marketing or promotion?

No. This work focuses on clear communication, not advertising. The aim is to help organisations: Explain services and changes more clearly improve public understanding support staff engagement reduce confusion and misinformation

Have you worked with NHS or government organisations before?

Yes. My experience includes contributing to national healthcare communication campaigns alongside the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and NHS Trust partners.

How is this different from a traditional communications agency?

This work is clinician-led and grounded in frontline healthcare experience. It complements existing communications teams by adding clinical context, digital insight, and a practical understanding of how information is received by both staff and the public.

How do engagements usually start?

Most begin with a short, no-obligation conversation to understand the organisation’s communication challenge and whether my experience is a good fit.

How can we get in touch?
