My name is Jenny Charlton & I’m a Freelance Medical Writer…

I have over 15 years of experience in medical communications and publishing, and a passion for developing effective medical education materials. A large part of my love for this job comes from learning about the human body and the fascinating advances in medicine being made, and then communicating these to a wide range of audiences.

Education

In terms of my education, I achieved the highest mark ever awarded for a Biology degree at the University of Nottingham (83%). Upon graduating, I was awarded the Elizabeth and JD Marsden Prize for outstanding achievement, awarded to the top three graduating students across all degree courses. Quoting the University’s guidelines: “The three prizes are awarded to students who are adjudged the best students of the year, who have gained high distinction in their examinations, and who have throughout their University careers been of exemplary conduct and given proofs of outstanding character and personality.”
