Medical Writing for MSLs

Tuesday 20th October 2026 13:00 - 14:00 (BST)


Elevate your impact with practical, evidence-based medical writing skills


Masterclass Details:

Medical writing is one of the most overlooked parts of the MSL role, despite being one of the most high-impact. In this 60-minute masterclass, Dr Paul Riley maps the landscape of medical writing for MSLs, from the day-to-day outputs you already produce to the collaborative projects MSLs are increasingly leading with clinicians and partners.

Paul will share practical, evidence-backed techniques drawn from the published literature on what good medical writing looks like – and where it most often goes wrong. You’ll discover why even experienced MSLs can lose clarity, consistency or impact when translating complex science for different audiences, and you’ll learn how to avoid the common pitfalls.

Whether you’re new to medical writing or looking to sharpen your craft, this masterclass offers concrete approaches you can put to work the next day.
