As an analyst in the MedTech and Market Access divisions at Costello Medical, I analyse, interpret, and communicate clinical and health economic evidence to help pharmaceurical and MedTech clients demonstrate product value and navigate market access. A medically qualified professional with postgraduate experience as a resident doctor, I combine clinical experience and scientific rigour, applying my expertise to projects spanning the product lifecycle – from the analysis of evidence and payer-facing value argumentation, through to technology appraisal submissions and advisory board delivery. In my time at Costello Medical I have worked across surgical technologies and therapy areas including oncology, stroke medicine, cardiovascular, and orthopaedics. Currently completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Economics, I am further strengthening my ability to contextualise clinical evidence within the frameworks that shape real-world adoption and reimbursement.
I synthesise evidence and communicate value across multiple globally leading MedTech and pharmaceutical clients, translating complex clinical and economic data into clear outputs for diverse audiences. Thus far, I have developed global and core value materials for leading pharmaceutical companies, engaged directly with KOLs and a wide range of clinical and non-clinical stakeholders, and balanced multiple simultaneous client-facing projects, consistently delivering high-quality outputs in a fast-paced and dynamic consultancy environment. My work has encompassed, among others, the following projects: - Organising a multi-speciality surgical forum in the US - Global and core value dossiers for globally leading pharmaceutical clients - Payer value propositions - Real-world evidence (RWE) dossiers for NICE submissions - Stakeholder surveys to aid in adoption efforts for a novel MedTech device - Evidence synthesis (SLRs/TLRs)
Completed my Foundation Year 1 (FY1), obtaining a full GMC license and registration as a medical doctor. Over the course of the year, I undertook the following rotations: Cardiology: - Looked after cardiovascular in-patients at a busy tertiary care centre. - Gained exposure and experience in managing patients with a range of cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. - Observed and learned about coronary angiography and echocardiography. - Presented at the cardiology journal club. Gynaecological oncology: - Cared for patients post-operatively on the ward. - Led pre-operative assessment clinics, qualifying patients for surgery and counselling them on their operations. - Learned about various gynaecological cancers. - Frequently assisted in surgery, including with salpingo-oophorectomies, total abdominal hysterectomies, and brachytherapy. - Presented all cases weekly at the Friday Grand Round. - Maintained a comprehensive audit of surgical complications for the department. Stroke medicine: - Attended acute stroke calls, helping investigate suspected stroke and initiate acute management if needed. - Collaborated with the multidisciplinary clinical team to care provide patient care. This team included doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, pharmacists, and HCAs. - Independently, under supervision, composed and implemented medical management plans for stroke ward in-patients at various stages of acuity. - Participated in a quality improvement project streamlining discharge summaries, facilitating continuity of care between hospitals and GPs. - Presented a paper on a novel VTE prevention device at the stroke journal club. - Worked A&E weekends and medical ward cover night shifts, experiencing high patient acuity, and learning how to manage deteriorating patients.
Crafted, refined and reviewed simulated patient cases leveraging generative AI technology, tailored towards medical students approaching their practical exams (OSCEs). These cases focused on medical school exam (UKMLA) topics in the neurosciences and mental health. Contributed content fostering the growth of an ambitious startup integrating AI to improve medical education. With SimPat, medical students can access thousands of patient cases, mapped to the UKMLA curriculum, and engage with them in a realistic, virtual patient interaction experience.
Wrote a range of medical articles for the Ada Health medical library, distilling complex medical topics and concepts into accessible language targeted at lay audiences. The articles focussed predominantly on topics in women's health and COVID-19, and can be accessed online in the Ada Health medical library. In addition, learned about SEO guidelines and optimisation.
With the EUNS public engagement team, I was responsible for organising and running the annual neurotheatre event. This event allowed participants to follow a simulated patient's journey from presenting in A&E into neurosurgical theatre.
