About the Role
Analysts and Medical Writers work on projects involving the detailed analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and creative presentation of this analysis in different formats. These deliverables include posters, slide sets, value dossiers, reports and peer-reviewed publications, and they are used directly by our clients in communication with a range of external stakeholders, making them instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time.
You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues, who provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.
Costello Medical is structured into teams focusing on distinct medical communications and health economics services, or serving a specific sector within the healthcare industry. If you have an interest in joining a specific team, you will be encouraged to specify this in your application form. On joining the company, you will be assigned a “home” team based on factors such as your interests and skills and our current business need. However, where possible, Analysts and Medical Writers work across teams with at least one additional team to develop a broad understanding of the company’s services and clients.
* Market Access: Within the healthcare sector, the Market Access process is essential to ensuring that medicines are reimbursed and rapidly made available to patients who need them. Our Market Access team supports a wide range of clients in developing the communication strategy essential to demonstrating the clinical and economic value of some of the newest, most innovative therapies in development.
* HTA: By joining the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) team you will work on the successful delivery of projects to demonstrate the clinical and health economic value of some of the newest and most innovative therapies in development.
* Medical Affairs: Medical Affairs provides the scientific bridge between clinical development and commercial functions in pharmaceutical and device companies.
* Literature Reviews and Synthesis: Literature Reviews and Synthesis projects involve the identification of clinical, economic and real-world evidence to support the value of a pharmaceutical product or medical device.
* Publications: As a member of the Publications team you will work closely with clients and world-renowned opinion leaders to produce publications that communicate key scientific and clinical data to a wide audience.
* Rare Diseases: Our specialised Rare Diseases team supports this sector in overcoming the unique challenges they face.
* MedTech: Manufacturers of medical devices face different challenges to pharmaceutical companies, and therefore we have a dedicated team that supports this distinct sector of the healthcare industry.
* Real-World Evidence: Real-world evidence (RWE) is becoming increasingly important for the demonstration of clinical and economic value of pharmaceuticals and medical technologies.
* Pro Bono: Our Pro Bono team delivers projects free-of-charge to charities and not-for-profit organisations within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors.
* Health Policy: Communications play a central role in health policy, helping to inform policy change at both the local and global level.
* Health Economics and Statistics: As an Analyst in our Health Economics and Statistics (HES) team, you will work on projects involving the statistical analysis of data and the development of economic models.
Hybrid Working Policy: We recognise that home-working can improve work-life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.
