About Alison
Featured Text
Freelance project manager, medical editor, and copywriter with 30 years’ experience curating (and creating) content for physicians, dentists, nurses, midwives, and other allied health professionals, as well as lay audiences.
Product types include scientific articles (primary research, case reports, reviews, professional society consensus statements, and guidelines), online learning modules, PowerPoint presentations, video animations, Key Opinion Leader (KOL) vodcasts, posters, and patient education initiatives.
I also have demonstrable experience in scholarly book publishing, including undergraduate textbooks and high-level professional and reference material.
While the majority of my work has been healthcare related, I have also worked on non-medical content for the higher education sector, e.g., King's College London and the State University of New York (SUNY).

The edited version of ‘Atherosclerosis Progression – plaque fissuring and thrombosis’ looks excellent. I wish all subediting was this good.
