Background

Mediscript was founded in 1984 to provide medical writing, reporting and editing services. Since then, Mediscript has evolved into a company which specialises in producing medical educational literature, offering full publishing and conference organising services. We have extensive experience of covering a wide range of therapeutic developments working with the pharmaceutical industry.

The bulk of our work has been supported by the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Future

Mediscript strives to bring its publishing activities into the 21st century utilising the new technology and multimedia facilities now available to us. In addition, Mediscript hopes to gain more ground in the field of commercial- and independent-publishing, specialising in health education material. We also aim to establish Mediscript as a major medical conference organising company, both nationally and internationally. In furtherance of these objectives, we would like to work closely with the government departments dealing with major health issues in the United Kingdom and the European community.

Mediscript provides the full publishing service of design, typesetting, artwork, print and production using the latest technology. A major attraction of Mediscript publications is the creative presentation of material.

Our publications are printed attractively with economical use of colour.

Full-colour production is equally well undertaken as required. To keep pace with technology, Mediscript operates at all levels from copy to artwork, which can be produced in electronic format ready for printing.

Much of the work produced by Mediscript is for the European market. Translations into the four main languages, i.e. French, German, Italian and Spanish, are done regularly at Mediscript. We can also carry out translations into Arabic, Chinese and Japanese.
