Thoughts on Patient-Centered Care by a Doctor and Medical Writer

Dr. Elizabeth Wayne-Evans, Senior Medical Writer and Medical Advisor at Porterhouse Medical Group, discusses the shared goal of medical writing and clinical practice to improve patients’ lives. Wayne-Evans former career as a clinical histopathologist informs her perspective on the importance of a patient-centered perspective when writing medical content.

In an article on PM Live, she states, “My new career enabled me to deploy my medical knowledge in a different way by interpreting scientific findings and determining how these might affect a patient’s life. But as with histopathology, it is all too easy to lose sight of the patient among the work. Why do we do what we do in either of these fields? We work to improve that patient’s life – its quality and perhaps also its quantity. To put it simply, we use our scientific knowledge to help people.”
