Mrs Jeanette McClellan, BsC (Hons) RMN, RGN, Medical Writer and Researcher

Jeanette worked as a senior nurse in the NHS until she retired in 2015. She has published several journal articles throughout her career, and both authored and contributed to nursing textbooks. More recently her writing has included a Novella and some short stories / poetry, as well as theatre reviews. Jeanette is also a skilled editor and proof-reader. She as an established client base of overseas students at all stages of their career and a commonality is supporting those for whom English is not their first language. Bureaucracy has a habit of throwing curved balls at people establishing new futures in new areas, and she found that those who are displaced in particular struggle to meet deadlines – not because they don’t understand, but because of overwhelming commitments and in some cases trauma. She has brought empathy to this project through a humanistic approach and this has guided the delivery of preparemedicine.com
