Journalist Breakfast Briefing with Caroline Price, Clinical Reporter at Pulse

Come and meet Caroline Price from Pulse who will be speaking at our next HCA Journalist Breakfast Briefing on Thursday 4th June 2015.

Caroline Price is Clinical Journalist at Pulse magazine, the leading medical title for GPs in the UK. She works with a team of specialist journalists responsible for breaking the biggest news, features and investigations in health policy affecting general practice, including stories that regularly set the national health news agenda.

Caroline has been at Pulse for two years, during which time she has scooped major stories on national policies on cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and antimicrobial resistance, revealed controversies behind national guidelines in areas such as osteoarthritis, diabetes and prescribing, as well as uncovering scandals over funding cutbacks in mental health.  Earlier this year she was runner-up at the Medical Journalists Association awards in the category 'Scoop of the year', for her story revealing a Government policy to pay GPs directly for diagnosing patients with dementia.

Caroline began her career in 1999 in biomedical research, completing a PhD in vascular cell biology and then a post-doctoral research fellowship as part of an Alzheimer’s disease research programme, before switching to a career in writing.  After a spell working for a medical communications agency, she moved into editorial work for specialist medical online news and education websites, before joining Pulse in 2013.

Caroline will talk about her typical day, what it's like doing her job as Clinical Reporter at Pulse - as well as providing some tips on how to enter into dialogue with her about possible news articles and areas of interest.

The event will take place 8.00am to 10.00am in central London.  All members are welcome but places are limited - so please book early to reserve your place.
