The Provision for a Professional Medical / Science Writing Service

As part of pandemic preparedness activities, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) seeks an excellent medical writing service to help rapidly prepare publications and reports during public health emergencies. While there are individuals and groups within UKHSA who have significant expertise in scientific writing of manuscripts, in a pandemic scenario, there will be a surge requirement for additional writing and publication tasks. There is no dedicated medical writing service that is a standalone capability that can be directed and utilised in all areas where surge support is needed for this type of activity. This contract therefore gives us the resilience in an emergency as part of future pandemic preparedness.
