We asked Tom Priddle to give us an insight into his role as a Principal Medical Writer at OPEN Health.
As a Principal Medical Writer, I work on a large publications account that focuses on several different therapy areas. I oversee the scientific strategy for the account, support the other writers as they develop content and even write the odd manuscript myself!
Much of my time is spent reviewing and discussing content with the other writers. I also work closely with my counterpart on the accounts team and speak with clients and authors a few times a week to ensure our various projects are on track.
I enjoy working with our clients and authors to shape their publications strategy and disseminate their research. Together with the accounts team, we have built a strong partnership with our key client so there’s a real sense of collaboration.
It can be a challenge to manage several different projects that are all at different stages, with multiple people involved.
I’m fortunate to work with some great people across OPEN Health. Having worked at a few different agencies over the years, I would say that OPEN Health’s pragmatic approach towards managing people as actual people is quite refreshing.
