Media Medics was founded in 1994 by a few doct ors working mostly in radio, who soon realised the need for support and training. Within a year there were almost two hundred, and now the group is well over five hundred with secondary care specialists as well as General Practitioners and other healthcare professionals including nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, nutritionists and dieticians across all branches of the media and other professional advisory roles. Many are influential in their own profession.

Now part of LeapFrog Medical Communications, our aim is to provide the public with authoritative and accurate information in clear, understandable terms, and to provide those with medical or health news and information the means to get this information into the professional and lay media. Some of our doctors also have special skills in the working of the modern NHS and primary care organisations, and can offer consultancy to individual pharmaceutical companies on matters of strategy.
