    Years of clinical experience

    Initially a healthcare professional, I bring my knowledge and skills from direct patient care to my consulting services.

    Years in consulting

    Confident in joining teams of all sizes, I use my soft skills to hit the ground running. With strengths in collaboration and seeing the big picture, I work with stakeholders to coordinate projects and move them forward. At a detailed level, I curate and track content creation, problem-solve bottlenecks and connect people together.

    Continents

    I have happy clients from Australasia, Europe, and North America.

Combining clinical knowledge with writing expertise

I started my career as a healthcare professional, treating patients in hospital and community settings. After moving to a country with a brand-new language, I side-stepped into medical writing. Still, I apply my clinical experience to my writing and project work every day. I love helping patients, and now I get to help my clients. Rather than working with patients one-on-one, my work impacts many people—that's a really great feeling!

About Fiona Beck

  • The University of Queensland, 
    Australia

    UQ is in the top 50 universities worldwide. Here I gained a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy (2003). This 4-year degree had a strong academic and research science focus, admitting only the top 2% of school leavers. I studied alongside students of medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy and speech pathology. 

  • I'm honoured to provide these 
    services

    When explaining medical matters in everyday language I write with empathy, as if the reader is my own patient. When writing on behalf of clinicians and researchers, I am honoured to help them effectively communicate their science and knowledge.

  • 4 languages

    I have lived in 5 countries across 2 continents. I've enjoyed learning the local languages (German, French, and Dutch). Observing how medical English is used between native and non-native speakers, professionals and laypeople, has been a fascinating and unexpected dimension of my work. When I am editing your writing, my knowledge of these other languages helps me to understand and recognise what you really want to say.

    A spotlight on my research writing services

    Get ready, Get set, Submit!

    I have written, edited, and prepared papers for submission to a wide range of journals. I am familiar with the world of submission requirements and comfortable preparing papers to meet these exacting standards.

    Preparing a research paper can take months or even years. Perhaps you finally have your data and analysis, but are feeling daunted by the writing? Are you distracted by English language details rather than able to focus on the data and results? Do you have a blank page instead of an abstract? Are you struggling to summarise your years of work into three short key sentences? Or, is your paper mostly ready, but you need it checked for common errors and inconsistencies?

    It is a pleasure to work in a team with Fiona. She is a reliable and competent person who recognises where support is needed and offers help. Her editing skills improve the quality of our manuscripts and one can always count on a quick and professional reply. I hope to work with her many more times in the future! 

    Noëmi Künstle,

    PhD Candidate and Clinical Research Doctor, University Children’s Hospital Basel

    Thank you very much for the outstanding work and fast turnaround.

    Thos Geiger,

    Managing Director Swiss Personalised Health Network (SPHN)

    I am very happy to recommend Fiona. Fiona is an outstanding medical writer and her unparalleled attention to detail, deep understanding of syntax, grammar, and style conventions and their applicability to the medical context contributed to the success of a research proposal she supported me with. Beyond her technical abilities, Fiona has a proactive collaborative and problem-solving approach to editing where her effective communication skills, both verbal and written, greatly facilitated the exchange of ideas and ensured the communication of complex information in a clear and accessible manner.

    Carla Da Silva Sena,

    PhD, University of Newcastle, Australia

    Thank you for all the hard work you've done to get us where we are now, and also set us in the right direction as we keep on building. I know you're going to be very successful in whatever lies ahead! 

    Country Medical Director,

    Moderna

    Fiona has great expertise in editing scientific articles. Since she has a therapeutic background herself (occupational therapy), she knew exactly what I was talking about, which was very helpful for my work. The communication is excellent and Fiona is very flexible. Her valuable feedback helped me a lot and I can highly recommend her at any time.

    Conny Neuhaus,

    Head of Therapies, University Children’s Hospital Basel, Switzerland

    Fiona, it was an absolute privilege and honour to work with you! You were an exceptional colleague and made all the difference in our projects.

    Senior Manager,
