Introduction to Medical Editing:  Bonus Material!

Thank you for coming to the SfEP Introduction to Medical Editing. This page lists all the resources I mentioned in the session, and more. Please note that these lists do not attempt to be exhaustive - they are just starting points to guide you in your own searches. That said, if you think of anything else you'd like me to add, please ask and I'll get right on it.  -Julia

Language assistance departments at UK universities
Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure if the departments listed hire freelancers or even help students with editing/proofreading, but if you're interested in working with students it would certainly be worth approaching them to see how they work, whether they would be interested in your services and, if so, what kind of support you would be permitted to provide.

Many editing companies also provide thorough feedback and on-the-job training, as well as some having their own "editor academies" (e.g. Edanz and Enago provide their editors with training courses)
A wealth of further information about editing / medical editing as a career

https://www.louiseharnbyproofreader.com/help-for-editors.html (Louise is the SfEP's very own generous information-sharer! Not a medical specialist but a lot of the information she shares can be applied to medical editing too.)
