At Wave, we prioritise our team’s learning and career development and firmly commit to providing each role with opportunities to enhance and refine their professional skills. That’s why we initiated the ‘Wave Medical Writing Academy’ led by Medical Journalist and Communications Specialist, Sue Mayor.
Our medical writers recently attended the Academy, engaging in both group workshops and personalised one-to-one sessions with Sue. The Academy spanned a 12-month period and equipped our writers with essential skills, knowledge and insights to elevate their writing skills, confidently approach writer briefs and deliver high-quality, clinically relevant content.
The group workshops focused on sharing knowledge and learnings from Sue’s extensive experience, covering a broad range of topics from how to tell a compelling story to planning, running and writing up advisory board meetings. The sessions consisted of tailored exercises designed to stimulate critical thinking, allow writers to put learnings into practice,
and see how each session can support the development of engaging content.
“The group training sessions provided a great prospect to explore some of the key topics and types of work in medical writing with someone who has such a breadth of experience.” Becca, Senior Medical Writer “The workshops introduced me to some key concepts and practical tools that I apply in my job every day, improving both the quality of my work and my confidence as a medical writer.” Henry, Senior Medical Writer
In the one-to-one sessions, our writers delved deep into their strengths and weaknesses while reflecting on past, current and future projects. These sessions focused on individual developmental areas and allowed the writers to demonstrate how they had applied the learnings and skills from the group workshops to live project work.
