Glenys Lewis

In my current role as a Medical Writer at Weber Shandwick Hong Kong, I have honed my skills in creating engaging educational materials for diverse audiences, including patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public. I have also gained valuable experience in providing support for medical events, where I assisted key opinion leaders with briefings and slide preparation, and supporting clients and speakers on-site to ensure that the event runs smoothly. Furthermore, I have developed post-event deliverables such as symposium highlights, newsletters and Advisory board meeting reports. 

Prior to my role at Weber Shandwick, I worked as an Editor at Cactus Communications, where I edited and proofread a variety of scientific documents, ensuring language quality and adherence to journal guidelines.
