One of the things I enjoy most about my work is the opportunity to cover a huge diversity of issues, and write for hugely differing readerships. 

 

I’ve written about child cancer survivors for the Guardian Family page, and the prospects for young adults with learning disabilities for You magazine. At the other end of the spectrum I’ve explained the spread of inner-city tuberculosis to health visitors and the nuances of working with an inner-city Pakistani community to learning disability nurses.

 

My particular strength is in communicating complex issues in a manner that the readership will find accessible but not patronising.  I talk to everyone from world-class neurologists to former heroin addicts who've been living on the streets - and they all have to be happy that I'll write about them in a manner that does them justice.
