This Medical Writing Level 3 Training course consists of structured lectures followed by an assessment, covering core areas of medical and scientific writing practice.
The course begins with scientific research writing, introducing research design, methodology, literature review techniques, and identification of research gaps. Learners explore how scientific research articles are structured, written, and prepared for publication, as well as how research findings are presented through posters and presentations. Ethical considerations in scientific research and writing are addressed to support responsible practice.
Medical communications writing focuses on producing clear medical reports, summaries, and documentation. Learners gain awareness of clinical trial protocols, regulatory context, patient information leaflets, educational materials, and effective communication with healthcare professionals and stakeholders. The use of multimedia to support medical communication is also explored.
Regulatory writing introduces regulatory requirements related to clinical trials and drug development. Learners examine how clinical trial protocols, investigator brochures, and clinical study documentation are structured, how regulatory submissions are prepared, and how compliance with guidelines and regulations is maintained. The role of regulatory writing within drug development processes is discussed at an awareness level.
Publication writing explores the medical publication process, including writing for journals, understanding peer review, responding to reviewer feedback, and producing reviews and editorials. Publication ethics and plagiarism avoidance are emphasised to support integrity in medical writing.
Learners complete a final assessment to demonstrate understanding of medical writing principles, ethical considerations, and professional communication standards.
