mainly medical writing
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.
