Profile

Watermeadow Medical is an award-winning, international agency with offices in Oxford and Manchester, UK and New York, USA.  We are among the largest independent consultancies in the industry, with one of the biggest and highly qualified in-house editorial teams available.

Each of our 50 writers and editors (70% of which are qualified to MD/PhD level) are transparently identified (not hidden behind account managers), encouraging a culture of responsibility and accountability. Our events, production, digital and graphics experts complement our editorial staff, allowing us to create flexible, integrated full-service project teams specifically targeting the needs of clients, whether a top 10 pharmaceutical company or specialised niche player.

Perhaps most uniquely for a company of more than 75 people, we also have exceptionally high staff retention (>90% in the last 2 years), so our staff build long-lasting relationships with our clients, adding value through continuity.

Together, these features mean that, since we began in 1997, we’ve been delivering projects that exceed expectations, time after time. It’s why more than 90% of our business comes from existing clients and why we’re one of the most successful agencies in the field, with substantial growth over the years.

Testimonials

'The knowledge of medical writers at Watermeadow, their engagement and their responsiveness is outstanding. They are not just executing, they are advising, proactively thinking and very easy to work with. This is also the feedback from our key opinion leaders involved in the programmes. During the past years I gained experience with several other agencies working on medical education and Watermeadow is definitely the leading company.'
