Tim Albert website

Welcome: the focus of this site is medical communication, and in particular writing and editing.



Latest news: another group of trainers qualifies



Eight more people qualified in May to run the the course on Write a journal article - and get it published.

They were two epidemiologists from Bern, Sitzerland, a GP from Cumbria, a retired public health doctor from Tynemouth, academics from Exeter and Bristol, an editor from the Journal of the German Medical Association and director of a welsh medicines centre.

They received their licences after a three day Train the Trainers course in Dorking, Surrey, England. I do not plan to run this course again, though I am still available for short sessions and mentoring.

You will find on this site:


  • Details of courses on effective writing, writing scientific papers (and getting them published) and editing medical journals

  • Useful advice on medical writing and training, on topics from how to amass a lot of peer reviewed publications quickly to what makes an effective writing style

  • Information about the four books I have written on this subject

  • A selection of other books that I have read, enjoyed and can recommend. 



Much of the information comes from an 18-year period running Tim Albert Training, during which time I personally ran about 1,000 short courses. It also comes from a newsletter Short Words that I published for much of this period, and which dealt with health care communication.

 

I have now retired from running courses, though you will see on this site that the courses we designed are still available. I plan to write a blog, starting early in 2011, and would like to continue the work of Short Words in sniffing and publicising out some of the worst of health care gobbledegook.

 

I will also cultivate my garden, and share with you photographs of the same according to season.
