MY STORY.
About MedCopywriter
Hello.​
​
My name is Nick Lamb PhD managing director of Medcopywriter Limited. Based in Oxfordshire, UK, I've been working as a freelance medical writer in medical communications for more than 20 years.
​
With a solid science background combined with a flair for generating robust and compelling medical content, I'm able to write confidently on a wide range of therapy areas for healthcare specialists, GPs, nurses, pharmacists, patients and the public alike.
​
Throughout my career I've worked with healthcare advertising agencies as well as directly with global pharma clients, culminating in work on nine out of the ten best-selling prescription medicines of all time.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY.
Client testomonials
Senior Therapeutic Area Medical Director,
Astellas Pharma Europe
For the last 18 months, Nick provided us with excellent support in medical writing for our nephrology product in the area of medical affairs, including slide sets for clinical trials, training materials, presentations for symposia and minutes of advisory board. The quality of his output has been consistently good.
Senior Account Director
McCann Manchester
Nick's work is of a consistently high standard, meticulous and well thought through. An absolute pleasure to work with - he is reliable, flexible and accommodating. Nick's approach remains the same, no matter the nature or size of the project - and I would more than recommend him.
Online Brand Manager,
AstraZeneca
I worked with Nick over a number of months to deliver a website project for prostate cancer patients and health care professionals. The previous experience Nick bought to the project was invaluable and ensured the project was both a success and delivered on time.
