MY STORY.
About MedCopywriter
Hello!
I'm Dr Nick Lamb, the managing director of Medcopywriter Limited. Based in Oxfordshire, UK, I've been working as a freelance medical writer in MedComms for more than 20 years.
With a solid science background combined with a passion 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 general public.
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.
