EDITING

Medical Writing: scientific medical documents and translations

Bridge between science and practice

For the targeted communication of scientific results, as from clinical studies, I use different styles. In order to address the target audience, I process your information into the appropriate language by plain and concise writing: for patients, scientists and health care professionals or drug/medical devices regulators.

Systematic literature searches

In order to present the best available evidence comprehensively and accurately, I will conduct systematic literature searches according to the standards of the Cochrane Collaboration (e.g. in PubMed). I can also provide support during the entire process of preparing a systematic review.

Interpretation and presentation of research data

Writing scientific documents requires good attention to detail on the one hand and a clear understanding of the purpose and requirements of the project on the other. On this premise I will provide stringent and logically organized texts based on your contents; as well as examine and interpret your research results in order to come to a consistent discussion and conclusion.I am also happy to edit your documents and media for scientific or educational purposes as well as for the general public.

Ethical and legal issues

Writing scientific documents requires good attention to detail on the one hand and a clear understanding of the purpose and requirements of the project on the other. On this premise I will provide stringent and logically organized texts based on your contents; as well as examine and interpret your research results in order to come to a consistent discussion and conclusion.
I am also happy to edit your documents and media for scientific or educational purposes as well as for the general public.

Network and communication

As a freelancer I work independently, but in ongoing collaborations with teams. I am used to adjusting to new team structures and I value consistent cooperation. I am a reliable partner in time management, meeting deadlines and I stand for accurate and good communication on a professional basis. I have developed a strong network of experts, graphic designers and native speakers.
