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