“I enjoyed the science in my laboratory role, but I couldn’t see myself doing the same work long term. Medical writing interested me, although I wasn’t sure whether enjoying writing was enough to make a career out of it.”

“With work and family commitments, I kept wondering whether I had the time. Eventually I joined the medical writing programme because waiting for life to become less busy wasn’t getting me anywhere. The practical work takes concentration, but seeing how my writing has improved after applying the feedback has kept me going.”

“What pushed me to join the Regulatory Medical Writing programme was knowing I’d actually be working on documents and getting feedback from people who do this for a living. I already had a degree. I needed to understand how to put that scientific background to use in a different role.”

“Really pleased to share that I’ve accepted a medical writing role. Coming from microbiology, I had the scientific background, but writing regulatory documents was new territory. The assignments and feedback gave me something concrete to build on. Looking forward to starting and continuing to learn. Special thanks to all the experts Sandhya and Dr Uwa they were attentive and always willing to help.”

“I’ve just accepted my first role in as a Pharmacovigilance Scientist. There were definitely evenings after a shift when the last thing I wanted to complete my projects for submission to the experts, especially with the children needing me too. It took work, applications and a few disappointments, but I’m really pleased to have reached this point. Can’t Thank PharmaLink enough for the opportunity and access into the space finally!”

“Not going to pretend studying around shifts and children has been easy! I’m still working through the programme, but things that sounded completely unfamiliar at the beginning are starting to make sense. The feedback has shown me where I need to improve. Slowly getting there.”

“I Finally Got an Interview I finally got an interview after months of struggling to get anywhere with pharma applications. Before the programme I was basically sending my healthcare CV to different companies and hoping someone would give me a chance. Once I understood how to position my experience and what recruiters were actually looking for, my approach completely changed. I’ve now had my first interview and I’m preparing for another opportunity. No job offer yet, but I’m finally getting through the door and that’s a big difference from where I started.”

“You Have to Put the Work In This isn’t one of those programmes you buy, watch a few videos and suddenly become employable. You actually have to do the work. There were weeks where balancing assignments with work and family was difficult and I fell behind at one point. I’m now back on track and progressing through my assignments. I’m not in the market yet, but I feel much more confident about eventually entering it because I know I’ve actually done the work rather than just collected another certificate.”

“Katie’s Sessions Helped Everything Click There were topics I thought I understood during the main sessions and then I’d start the assignment and realise I was completely lost. Katie has a way of explaining things from a different angle without making you feel silly for asking again. I’m now completing my documents much more independently and my recent feedback has shown a clear improvement. Sometimes you just need someone to explain something differently before it clicks.”

“My First Pharma Role I’ve officially transitioned from healthcare into the pharmaceutical industry. When I joined PharmaLink I wasn’t sure companies would take my previous experience seriously because I didn’t have direct industry experience. The programme helped me understand how to bridge that gap rather than pretending the gap didn’t exist. I’ve now started my first pharma role and recognising terminology, processes and concepts I’d already encountered during training has made a huge difference to my confidence. There’s still loads for me to learn, but I finally made the move.”

“My Science Degree Wasn’t Enough I thought having a life science degree meant I already had a decent understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. I quickly realised there was a lot I didn’t know. The programme helped connect the science I’d learned at university with how things actually operate within industry. The scenario sessions were particularly useful because you start understanding that pharma isn’t just technical knowledge. There’s communication, deadlines, different functions and real decisions involved. I’m now completing the practical stage and starting to think seriously about which roles I want to target. I finally feel like I understand the industry I’m trying to enter.”

“As a Healthcare Professional, This Was My Lightbulb Moment As a healthcare professional, I genuinely thought my experience would automatically make me attractive to pharmaceutical companies. I couldn’t understand why I kept applying and getting rejected. The Pharma Career webinar was the first time somebody explained the gap in a way that made sense. Dorothy didn’t say our experience was irrelevant. She explained that many of us have valuable skills but don’t know how to translate them into what pharmaceutical employers are looking for. I’ve now stopped applying randomly and I’m taking the time to work out which direction within pharma actually makes sense for my background. I wish I’d understood this before sending out so many applications.”

“I Actually Got Emotional I wasn’t expecting to get emotional on a career webinar. One of the PharmaLink students shared her journey and it honestly felt like she was telling my story. Similar background. Same frustrations. Applying for roles and wondering why nothing was happening. Starting to question whether changing careers was even realistic. Hearing where she’d started and how much had changed for her really got to me. I think I’d spent so long assuming everyone getting into pharma had something I didn’t have. I came off the webinar emotional but also incredibly motivated. I don’t feel like I’ve missed my chance anymore. I just haven’t had the right strategy.”

“The Webinar Explained Why I Wasn’t Getting Anywhere I joined the Pharma Career webinar expecting a few tips about getting into pharma. I wasn’t expecting to basically have my entire job search explained back to me. I’ve been applying for pharma roles for months because I have a life science degree and genuinely couldn’t understand why I wasn’t even getting interviews. When Dorothy explained the difference between being academically qualified and actually showing employers that you’re industry ready, so much started making sense. Then hearing students who had been in exactly the same position talk about their journeys really brought it home. I left feeling slightly called out, but also relieved. For the first time I understand why my current approach hasn’t worked and what I actually need to change.”

“One TikTok Video All it took was one TikTok video for me to start looking into PharmaLink. I’d been thinking about leaving healthcare for a while but didn’t really know what else I could do with my background. I eventually joined the medical writing programme and the practical work completely changed my understanding of the profession. You’re not just being told what a protocol or CSR is. You’re actually working through the documents. I’ve since completed the main training and started preparing for applications. For the first time I actually know what I’m applying for and what will be expected of me if I get the job.”

“My Story Isn’t Finished Yet If you’re joining, don’t expect yourself to know everything immediately. I made mistakes, misunderstood things and had moments where I genuinely questioned whether medical writing was for me. The experts didn’t expect perfection, but they did expect me to improve. Looking back, I think that’s what made the difference. I’m now at the end of the programme and preparing to start applying. When I compare my first assignments with my recent work, the difference is huge. I haven’t got the pharma job yet, so my story isn’t finished. But I finally feel like I’m entering the market with something tangible to offer rather than simply hoping somebody gives me a chance.”

“PhD to Regulatory Medical Writing Coming from academia with a PhD, I genuinely thought writing would be the easiest part for me. I was wrong. Regulatory writing requires a completely different mindset. Megan’s feedback was incredibly detailed and initially I did wonder whether all of it was necessary. As I progressed, I started catching some of those same mistakes myself and realised I was having to unlearn years of academic writing habits. I’ve now completed the programme and I’m preparing to enter the job market. I can open a regulatory document and understand what I’m looking at, which I definitely couldn’t have said when I started.”

“Nurse Looking for a Different Life I joined PharmaLink after years of nursing because I knew I needed a change. I love being a nurse but the shifts and lack of flexibility were becoming difficult. The transition wasn’t as easy as I thought. Pharma has its own language and there were definitely weeks where I questioned whether I could do it. I’m now applying for roles and have interviewed with companies I honestly didn’t think would shortlist me. I haven’t secured the right role yet, but getting into those rooms has shown me that the transition is possible.”

“Halfway Through PV Currently halfway through the PV programme and my experience has been really positive so far. The database training has probably been my favourite part because you’re actually applying what you’ve learned rather than just listening to someone explain pharmacovigilance. I’m not applying for jobs yet because I want to complete my training first, but I already understand PV job descriptions much better and can see how the work we’re doing relates to actual roles.”

“I almost talked myself out of joining because it felt like such a big investment. Looking back, I’m glad I trusted the process. The programme challenged me, but the support from the experts gave me the confidence to keep going, even when I doubted myself. Special thanks to Megan who delivered all live sessions, she had such a wealth of knowledge and experience that really helped me.”
