“I’ve been working closely with Nicola for several months to design, build and implement a patient support programme (PSP) for people living with lupus. At the heart of the PSP is a “health coaching” service which helps patients to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to self-manage their condition in the long-term.”
“Nicola has taken the lead in creating this coaching service and I’ve been very impressed by the high quality of her work, professionalism and teamwork skills. Nicola’s deep expertise in health psychology has enabled us to create a service which delivers real value to patients and HCPs. The feedback we’ve received from both of these groups during customer testing has being extremely positive. Nicola also works very quickly and produces outputs which are very high quality. Furthermore, she is an absolutely pleasure to work with and is always willing to go the extra mile to help people out and contribute to the team’s success.”
“I’d highly recommend Nicola to anyone. She’s a true expert in her field, a very competent consultant and a highly valued member of the team. I’m very much hoping we get the chance to work together again!”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicola and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Nicola is driven, committed, flexible and extremely talented. Not to mention being a wonderful human. Nicola came on board at very short notice to support us with research, strategy development and copywriting on a very complex European project. She worked closely and collaboratively with the team to provide a deliverable that delighted our client…all in under 3 weeks. I’m pretty sure she’s super-human.”
“Thank you for all that you do, Nicola. Hoping to work with you again soon!”
Dominic Pride
“Nicola brings a wealth of expertise, experience and gravitas to projects. It was a delight to welcome her to a recent Upstart client project, where she quickly and effectively synthesised and a wealth of information on digital health, and most importantly, made meaning out of it for our client. Colleagues were impressed with the speed with which Nicola joined the team and mastered the topic at hand, and enjoyed her naturally collaborative and participatory approach to working. It’s rare to find someone with her depth of knowledge in digital health, command of written English and positive work ethic. If you have the opportunity to work with Nicola, take it.”

“Dear Nicola, Just a quick email to say thank you so much for all your hard work on the educational guide Supporting Patients’ Cancer Treatment Choices. I have been really impressed with how you tackled a difficult subject area with such limited word allowance and to deadline too – every editors dream! The sponsors, Roche Medical, were also very impressed with your writing. I have already received lots of good feedback from our nurse readers and requests for further copies, both for personal gain and for teaching. I hope to work with you again soon and will definitely be in contact when we have a project along similar lines. Very best wishes, Laura”

I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants a fast, efficient service and professional writing done for anything.”

She’s a strategist and medical writer who has worked with me on many projects looking at behavioural science and motivation in the digital health space but her scope and remit are wider than that.
