Client Feedback

Those in healthcare communications know that delivering high-quality content means maintaining high standards in a high-pressure environment. Here is what some of our clients are saying about ismedica.

I worked with Ify on a variety of educational projects over a five-year period and was impressed with her level of enthusiasm and commitment and her knowledge of the therapy area. She was diligent and focused and delivered consistently high quality content with accuracy and on time. Ify is good at what she does and has a confident and engaging personality which helped to ensure that our educational programmes, including CME-accredited preceptorships, were successful and highly well regarded — working with Ify was a genuine pleasure.
Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Hiddemann, Director of the Department of Internal Medicine III University of Munich
I have worked with Ify and found her commitment, integrity, flexibility and knowledge as a medical writer is of outstanding value. Her contribution to strategy, questioning and insights contributed to decision making processes positively impacting our brand. Ify’s pleasant nature and willingness to go the extra mile makes her a valued member of the team, I would comfortably recommend Ify as a business partner.
Ursula Myles, International Business Leader, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd
As an experienced Editorial Team Leader, Ify helped us develop and deliver impactful medical communication and education activities ranging from internal training materials to symposia and advocacy programmes. Her grasp of our objectives and the disease area ensured our programmes were targeted at communicating key data to identified priority audiences. Ify was a valued member of our ‘team’ and approached her work with diplomacy, efficiency and professionalism. Her contributions to our programmes were highly appreciated.
Dr Colin Hayward, International Medical Lead MabThera
Through her exhaustive knowledge of the product and therapy area, and an uncanny ability to have every piece of data at her finger tips, Ify Sargeant not only performed a stunning job as medical writer on our medical education projects, but also she developed a peer-to-peer relationship with our thought leaders and faculty. Ify was a trusted partner in the projects we ran, who both her client and the physicians could rely on for top class, sound medical input and writing.
International Product Manager
Having worked with Ify over several years, I would not hesitate to recommend her as a medical writer but would add that her skills and experience go beyond this. She has a clear and focussed approach to her work, immersing herself in projects and taking pride in delivery of high quality programmes — it is obvious that she both enjoys and excels at what she does. Her engaging manner, ability to think out of the box and social skills made our many meetings both successful and enjoyable — working with Ify was a pleasure.
Professor Martin Dreyling, Professor of Medicine University Hospital Grossharden, Ludwig Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany
Ify is the best communications consultant that I have worked with. She delivers her work exactly when it is promised, if not before, and it is always of an incredibly high standard. She has spent time getting to know us as an organisation so that when we request a piece of work she knows exactly what to write. I cannot commend her highly enough.
Pippa McNichol, Director of Operations, Paterson Institute for Cancer Research
