About health writing
Health & medical writing is a growing field. With more and more writers looking to specialise in a niche, the health & medical writing field continues to increase in popularity. The work is rewarding – you’re helping people improve their health, adhere to their treatments and change behaviours.
The clients and job opportunities are as fascinating as they are diverse. You could be writing about heart health one day and paediatrics the next. You could write anything and everything from healthy lifestyle advice to a systematic review, patient information, or be engaged to edit a book. There is plenty of work available. And, most importantly, the work pays well!
Why take a Health Writer Hub course?
Taking a course to improve your health and medical writing skills is important for any writer who wants to specialise. Writing about medicine requires specific expertise. Medical writers need an understanding of medical terminology, top medical journals, diseases and conditions, treatments, the medical writing industry, clinical evidence, and best practices.
Knowing how to write about medicine accurately, without overpromising, takes skill and practice. If you’re writing for consumers, you also need to know how to write about complex topics clearly. If you’re writing for the web or marketing health products, it’s important to be aware of regulations, content strategy, social media, how people read online content, and SEO and keyword research.
Employers and clients look for writers who have relevant experience, as they want their content to be accurate, credible and reliable. Our health writing courses improve your skills and give you industry-specific knowledge – so you can feel confident you’re providing a high-quality health & medical writing service, every time.

How much do our courses cost?
At Health Writer Hub, our course fees range from $200-700 USD. I aim to make these courses affordable for writers who are just starting out and want to grow their skills but don’t have a lot of spare money to throw around.

The importance of feedback and coaching

Getting feedback from an experienced writing teacher will help you to improve your skills and put the course learnings into practice.

We offer a range of 4 to 6-week online health & medical writing courses to help you learn essential techniques in a short space of time.
