Dr Ruth Hadfield, BSc, DPhil, GCBiostat
Director, Mediwrite Pty Ltd

Based in Sydney, Australia, I assist biotech & pharmaceutical companies, medical professionals and academics with a wide range of medical writing and editing projects. Read more about the services I offer here. I also offer academic writing coaching and an online academic writing course.

About me

I was awarded a PhD (DPhil) from the University of Oxford and as an academic researcher, I authored over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and acted as a reviewer for a number of well-respected medical journals.

I established my medical writing consultancy in 2012 and I now specialise in helping people to translate research into practice. I help turn research findings into information that can be easily digested and utilised by a variety of audiences.  Here are a few case studies  to help illustrate this process.
