Guild of Health Writers

Welcome to the Guild

The Guild of Health Writers is a national, independent membership organisation representing Britain’s leading health journalists and writers. It was founded in 1994 to encourage the provision of readable and accurate health information to the public. Members write on every aspect of health and wellbeing, from innovative medical science to complementary therapies and lifestyle issues. They value the training and networking opportunities that the Guild provides. In the words of television doctor Chris Steele "We all gain by being members".
