Looking for a health copywriter?

Hi, I’m Lauren - a freelance health copywriter based in West Yorkshire. In my 20 years as a copywriter, I’ve helped a host of organisations, companies and brands convey their message online or in print.

I make medical content easier to read, - for both patients and professionals - weaving in vital information (and the right key words) and ensuring it perfectly meets your brief. I write in a way patients trust and I’m adept at simplifying complex information.

Ready to get started?

Here’s how I help…

Writing healthcare content for everyone from the NHS to Boots, I’ve also worked for natural health brands, healthcare charities, mental health and wellbeing companies, corporate wellbeing providers, and more. I’ve crafted content for healthcare training manuals, and internal communications, including staff newsletters and notices, and I’ve ensured prospective hospital patients can feel confident and reassured ahead of surgical procedures, thanks to lengthy ‘what to expect’ guides for BMI.

Looking for something specific?

My copywriting services span everything from longform content (such as blog posts and patient guides) to shorter snippets of copy for leaflets and email newsletters. If you need someone to come up with a snappy strap line for your healthcare business, get in touch. I’ve also written for companies that provide in-theatre equipment to hospitals, and recruitment agencies in the life sciences arena.

I’m well-versed in writing content that informs, engages, and - if required - entertains. I’ll ensure that what you’re communicating to patients is easy to understand and reassuring, making sure to omit unnecessary information while weaving the important details into the content naturally.

Thanks to my journalistic background, I’m more than used to interviewing people from all walks of life - and packaging up the results in a way that works for your intended audience.

Who I’ve Helped as a Freelance Healthcare Copywriter…

When it comes to healthcare copywriting, I’ve worked within the NHS (liaising with the team and patients at Bradford Teaching Hospitals), crafting copy for internal newsletters and articles. I’ve created healthcare content for prospective patients visiting hospitals for major surgery, and I’ve put together a wealth of blogs and product descriptions for two digital pharmacies.

I’ve written about cutting-edge technology for a company who supply medical equipment to hospital theatres too, and I’ve created training guides for businesses that offer wellbeing support and training for their employees.

I’ve worked with Boots, BMI, Circle Health, and more...

For Boots the chemist, I’ve created product round-ups, and I’ve written lengthy guides for natural health companies, and proofread and edited manuals for the training arm of a chain of aesthetics clinics.

I’d like to think I’ve got my finger on the pulse (if you’ll excuse the pun) of the latest in healthcare news, since the field of health and wellbeing is a personal interest too.

I bring five years experience of working in a busy newsroom at a local newspaper to freelance healthcare copywriting. This means I’m adept at interviewing people and translating the results into informative, meaningful copy. In fact, that’s what I love the most about creating healthcare content; in a world full of AI-written content, I’d like to think mine stands out as human and, well, quite nice to read.

I’m also available to edit your healthcare content…

Used AI for your content? Maybe you’re not happy with its output; your healthcare content may need a human touch to ensure it sounds like you and your business (or brand). Or perhaps you’ve written a draft or two of copy yourself but you feel it needs another pair of eyes on it.

No problem at all - let’s chat about how I can help put some life back into your copy.

Editing makes up a fair part of my working month as a healthcare content writer Yorkshire. That and proofreading - and I realise businesses are increasingly time-poor and would therefore like to delegate their healthcare copywriting to a professional.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a medical copywriter in West Yorkshire or further afield; I work remotely as a health copywriter and have helped hundreds of my clients without ever having to meet in person. That said, if you’d like to I absolutely relish the chance to jump in my car and say hello face-to-face.

If you do require my services, rest assured you can keep your brand messaging as is, I can check for grammatical errors (if needed) and tidy up any loose ends. I’m here as and when you need my services - and I’ll take the reins, if you like, or I’ll be totally led by you.

    Christina Hooley, from Brandon Medical, said this about working with me: “I have been looking for the best part of 2 years for the ideal copywriter who can communicate the genuine values of Brandon Medical and I could not have been more happy with the work which Lauren has done for us.

    “I will employ a quote from Forbes which illustrates perfectly the value which Lauren has delivered: "Business language is boringly uniform, with all executives latching onto the same business jargon du jour: core competency, buy-in, holistic, agile, forward-looking, reengineering, excellence, scale, customer-first, and so on. When you happen upon someone who can communicate the same idea clearly, without using the clunky worn-out words and phrases, it feels like a magnetic pull."
