Project Description
I’m looking for a medical writer who can turn a public-health topic into an easy-to-read Patient information leaflate. The goal is to give laypeople clear, accurate guidance while fully reflecting current evidence and accepted clinical recommendations.
Content scope
• Focus: public health prevention and lifestyle advice, not pharmaceutical branding or clinical trial reporting.
• Length: roughly 1,200–1,500 words—or whatever fits a standard tri-fold A4 leaflet once laid out.
• Tone: conversational, reassuring, plain-language at a Grade 6-8 reading level.
• References: cite up-to-date guidelines (e.g., WHO, CDC) in Vancouver style; include a separate reference list.
What I’ll hand over
– Key topic selection and any source studies or guidelines I already have.
– Visual preferences and my leaflet template in Word or InDesign, whichever you prefer.
Deliverable
A polished Patient information leaflate ready for print and PDF distribution, complete with:
1. Final copy in MS Word.
2. Embedded headings, bullet points, and call-out boxes for quick scanning.
3. Two royalty-free illustrations or icons that support the message.
4. A brief writer’s note (100–150 words) summarising sources used.
Timing
There’s no hard deadline, so quality matters more than speed; we can agree on milestone dates together.
If you’ve written public-facing health leaflets before—or have a knack for translating dense research into friendly language—I’d love to see a sample.
