I have prepared and delivered a wide range of training courses and been active in mentoring new editorial and client service staff, both within medcomms agencies and as a freelance.
Courses I have delivered formally include:
- Writing to persuade
- Writing news reports
- Email etiquette
- Pitch and proposal preparation
- Educating online
- How to develop learning objectives
- Preparing interactive online courses
On a more informal basis, I have been able to help a number of medical writers and client service staff to develop and hone their skills through a combination of teaching and mentoring.
Skype is now an invaluable and cost-effective communication tool that makes it possible to remotely mentor staff through a combination of video chat and screensharing.
