Many people with long-term conditions turn to complementary and alternative medicine. Parkinson’s UK wanted to provide a balanced, evidence-based guide to help people make an informed choice. Click the link here to download the PDF guide.
Healthcare and libraries
This social enterprise has been at the forefront of exciting new projects to develop public libraries as providers of health information. I wrote the core copy for a website that brings together libraries, universities and the NHS. I’ve also helped with projects on patient choice and shaping NHS services.
