Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Michelle Guillemard, founder of Health Writer Hub.

michelle guillemard

I created Health Writer Hub to share what I’ve learned with writers who care about making a difference through health communication. I believe words have the power to influence behaviour, inspire trust and improve health outcomes – and that great writers are essential in healthcare.

I’ve worked as a medical writer for nearly two decades. Early in my career, I held editorial and digital roles with global medical publishers like the British Medical Journal and Elsevier. I’ve since worked freelance for hospitals, universities, health brands, governments and pharmaceutical companies – writing on everything from chronic disease and mental health to cancer care, nutrition and clinical trials.

As the industry evolves, I’m focused on helping writers embrace change and stay relevant. In particular, I’m passionate about supporting writers to explore the potential of AI – using it to enhance productivity without compromising quality or integrity.

Alongside my work at Health Writer Hub, I continue to write for clients, mentor students, and lead Health AI CPD, a new learning platform for health professionals navigating the AI landscape.

What you’ll learn

Health Writer Hub courses are practical, flexible and grounded in real-world health communication principles.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Write clear, engaging, evidence-based content for different health audiences
  • Understand the latest trends in health communication, including AI integration
  • Build a writing portfolio that showcases your expertise
  • Start and grow your freelance business (or transition from clinical work)
  • Improve the quality, structure and readability of your writing
  • Navigate the medical writing industry with professionalism and confidence.

Health Writer Hub’s courses are independently accredited by The CPD Certification Service – so you can be confident you’re investing in high-quality, career-relevant training.

What you’ll develop inside the curriculum

The Complete Medical Writing Program is structured around three core pillars of modern health writing:

Writing fundamentals
Clear, accurate and evidence-based communication across health formats.

Career pathways
Portfolio development, freelance strategy and professional direction.

Responsible AI integration
Practical, ethical use of AI tools within modern medical writing workflows.

Across nine CPD-certified courses, you’ll build transferable skills that support sustainable professional growth, not just short-term technique.

AI-focused courses available individually

For writers who wish to focus specifically on AI integration in medical writing, selected AI courses are also available individually.

These courses provide targeted training in responsible AI use, editing workflows and advanced AI-assisted writing strategies.
