Welcome to the Guild of Health Writers

We’re a national, independent, membership organisation representing many of Britain’s leading health writers, from journalists for national magazines and newspapers to writers for specialist journals, charities, public bodies and brands. Many other individuals and organisations maintain close links with the Guild as Friends or Associate Members.

The Guild was founded in 1994 to promote high professional standards and support our members through networking and educational events. Our writers cover the whole spectrum of health, from innovative medical science to complementary therapies and wellness.
