Event description
In the ever evolving healthcare industry, more and more opportunities exist for freelancing and consulting.

Julie is the founder of Blue Ink Communications, providing editorial and copy medical writing services to a variety of healthcare clients since 2003. Jackie is a healthcare communications expert and has been consultant with Glasgow Labs since 2012. You will learn valuable strategies to tap into the freelance and consulting sectors in healthcare and find the resources you need to succeed.

Learning objectives
