COURSE OUTLINE:
We write every day and whether a one line email or a several thousand word thesis it all matters. Your writing is the bridge to communicating successfully.

This workshop helps those with a technical background take their writing to a new level. It shows participants how to turn evidence-based information into user-friendly and appealing, but accurate, reading. It gives skill-sharpening tips, tricks and techniques you can use every day, challenging some of the well-established habits of scientific writing. Cutting the clutter and losing the jargon, whilst still retaining scientific credibility, is the key to being an effective nutrition communicator in this increasingly competitive, information-dominated world.

Writing is a necessity but writing well is an art and an asset. This workshop helps participants discover how. "

Fiona gave such an interesting and practical session on how to write effectively. Her presentation not only held our attention from start to finish, but was relevant and gave me the confidence to put the skills into practice."

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for ... Those people with a technical background who want to take their writing to a new level
