Why collaborate with Elion?
Benefit from our medical writers’ expertise
Our medical writers are adept at distilling complex scientific or medical data into a clear, engaging, and concise manuscript that tells a story and presents your findings in a compelling manner.

Medical Writing FAQs
This is in discussion with you and based on your required timeframe. Elion understands the pressures associated with medical writing, particularly tight timelines. We offer flexibility when it comes to projects, and we are happy to work around your requirements. Our location in New Zealand also offers strategic opportunities for those in the Northern Hemisphere, helping to extend your working hours across time zones.
Elion prides itself on its commitment and knowledge of technical guidelines. We comply with guidelines such as CONSORT, STROBE, and PRISMA, and our work adheres to Good Publication Practices Guidelines.
Elion can perform reference checks and edit AI-generated medical writing content upon client request. However, it’s important to note that the time required for this process may not necessarily be less than creating the content from scratch. This is because we meticulously check and verify all evidence provided in AI-generated medical writing, ensuring accuracy and adherence to referencing standards.
The aforementioned list is a sample of the types of projects that we regularly work on. We can adapt quickly to new therapy areas and are happy to discuss any projects outside of our listed areas of expertise.
Collaborating with a freelance medical writer can streamline your company’s operations, saving valuable time and resources that would otherwise be invested in hiring writers and handling the medical writing project internally.
Elion regularly works with internationally renowned medical communications agencies, healthcare advertising agencies, and leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies. However, we are very happy to hear from anyone looking for support with medical communications projects, including individual clinical researchers looking for publications support. If you have a project in mind, please get in touch to discuss how we can help you.
