About the Role
We are working with an innovative organisation seeking an experienced Medical Science Liaison to join its UK Medical Affairs team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an MSL with experience in rare diseases or complex therapeutic areas to build trusted scientific relationships with healthcare professionals, contribute to regional Medical Affairs strategy, and act as a credible scientific partner across the healthcare community.
The Opportunity
In this field-based role, you will engage with healthcare professionals, thought leaders, patient organisations, and internal stakeholders to provide balanced, accurate, and scientifically robust information. You will contribute to Medical Affairs activities across the UK, support clinical initiatives, attend scientific meetings and congresses, and provide valuable field insights to inform medical and strategic planning.
You may also support appropriately defined product-related education alongside commercial colleagues. Any promotional activity will be clearly separated from the non-promotional responsibilities of the MSL role and conducted in line with the ABPI Code and relevant training.
