Sectors
The industries are different. The communications challenge rarely is
Underneath every brief is a version of the same thing: something important needs to be communicated more clearly. These aren't sector problems — they're communications problems, and the skills that solve them travel across industries.
01 The sectors
Healthcare & Life Sciences Credible under scrutiny, accessible to non-specialists, consistent everywhere — because trust is fundamental.
The audiences are varied — patients, commissioners, funders, regulators, the public — and unclear messaging carries consequences beyond reputation. I work on strategic communications, narrative development and explainer content that makes complex clinical or scientific work understandable without oversimplifying what makes it important.
This includes work with the Huddersfield Health Innovation Incubator (HHII), supporting founders to communicate the value and real-world impact of their work.

02 A note
"Shouldn't a specialist know one sector deeply?"
It's a fair question. The honest answer is that the most valuable thing I bring to any organisation isn't industry knowledge — clients have that in abundance. It's the ability to see the story from the outside. To ask the questions that familiarity has quietly buried.
The sectors are different. The communications discipline is the same. And after more than twenty years working across both, that breadth isn't a compromise — it's the point.
