KnowledgePoint360 appoints medical writers to Scottish team

KnowledgePoint360 has announced the appointment of two new senior medical writers as it expands its recently-established Scottish team.

Lynsey Stevenson has joined the agency from Complete Medical Communications, where she served in a similar role, while she has also previously worked as medical information officer for the Meningitis Research Foundation and research scientist for Scottish Biomedical.

Meanwhile, Katherine St John brings seven years of experience as a senior medical writer to her new role, joining the company from Complete HealthVizion, reports PMLiVE.

The company opened its Scottish office, located on central Glasgow's West George Street, in August 2013 as part of a wider effort to become a leading player in the Scottish medical communications community.

It plans to recruit up to ten staff members during its first year in Scotland.

Rachel Forsyth, KnowledgePoint360's vice-president of medical and scientific services and head of the Scottish office, said: "Scotland has a wealth of talented medical writers and we look forward to welcoming even more gifted individuals and giving them the opportunity to grow with us."
