Writing/Editing

I have held the posts of Editor of the British Journal of Parenteral Therapy, and Guest Editor of the Journal of Drug Development. I served on the Editorial Boards of the British Journal of Clinical Practice, Clinician, and the Journal of Drug Development. In Portugal, I have been English Language consultant and English Editor to Skin Cancer and Acta Psiquiatria Portuguesa. I have been a referee for the Lancet, the British Medical Journal and Clinical Nutrition. I am on the clinical review boards of Clinical Evidence (BMJ Group) and MedGenMed (The world’s first Internet-based medical journal (Ed George Lundberg)).

My more recent work includes writing disease and management files for FirstConsult.com (a medical information and decision support website run by Elsevier Science) and various types of reports and documents for OCC Europe and Bioscript Sterling Ltd (Medical communications). I also worked with Medical Text Ltd in preparing and writing detailed evidence-based reports for the Pensions Department of the Ministry of Defence on causation of diseases, on which they base their assessments for awarding war pensions.
