What does someone who works in Healthcare PR do?
Someone who works in PR can without a doubt say that the list below is not a scrape on the full job description but a typical list of duties on a healthcare role spec might look a little like this:
-/ Ensure good media relations with health editors on relevant publications (newspapers, magazines, trade journals, radio, TV and, increasingly, online.
-/ Write and send press releases.
-/ Work closely alongside the advertising team to ensure the brand message is consistent and the internal brand and comms team to ensure all stakeholders are involved in the process.
-/ Communicate key messages internally so everyone in the company – from the medical sales team to the senior managers – can understand the ‘vision’.
-/ Recruit and brief key opinion leaders, celebrities, authors and spokespeople in the relevant field to share the company’s healthcare message.
-/ Manage issues to protect a client’s reputation – for example, healthcare product recalls or medicine label changes.
What skills and qualification does a Healthcare PR specialist need?
Some Health PR roles will require you to have a healthcare or medical degree. Other agencies are much more open to background but love people who have a strong passion for science – there are many people in healthcare PR who entered the profession with a background in sales and marketing or general PR though and it’s not holding them back!
As well as the above, you will definitely need to be:
-/ A very strong and persuasive writer
-/ Creative and brimming with ideas
-/ Self-assured, expressive and versatile enough to pitch plans to a portfolio of different clients
-/ Strategic so you can put together a plan and budget for each idea
-/ Organised – everything’s time-sensitive and you often have to react quickly to client requests so you need to deliver projects on time and maintaining a high standard.
-/ Friendly, with an ability to charm the client so they feel confident enough to trust and share in your vision.
