I run a specialist healthcare public relations and communications consultancy, working closely with leaders pushing the boundaries of how we use data, technology, science and policy to improve health outcomes.

I’ve created countless media opportunities for clients in the medtech, life science, digital health and policy research fields. I also regularly consult as a senior partner to large PR agencies.

From amplifying research into the impact of government policy on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in global media outlets to helping growth stage health tech startups grab the attention of NHS decision-makers, I use my 16 years of journalism and communications expertise to create stories that bring real, measurable impact to my clients.

  • I fit quickly into agency workflows and in-house communication teams to provide senior level PR support, having worked in global agencies and with smaller independents.

  • I come with a robust contacts book of health, science and business journalists across the UK and Europe built on strong long-term relationships.

  • NRK Communications is 2x award-winning independent health communications consultancy (Global Health and Pharma News 2023, 2024).

Hear from those I’ve worked with…

  • “I have admired Nick’s ability to connect with a wide range of companies from medical devices, health technology and pharmaceutical to software and data. His ability to dig deep and translate complex subject matter into easily understandable jargon-free narrative is one of his superpowers. If you have Nick on your team, you know good things will happen.”

    Julian Tyndale-Biscoe, Senior Partner (UK Health Practice), FINN Partners

  • “Nick has worked with Feedback Medical for a number of years, providing high-quality thought leadership and media relations to support our marketing campaigns. He has a solid understanding of our business, market and what we are trying to achieve and has provided advice and guidance on how we can achieve our objectives. He is a pleasure to work with and always has a friendly, helpful and professional manner.”

    Carrie Goldsworthy, Head of Marketing, Feedback Medical

  • “One of the most important things we did is work with Nick to articulate the messages we wanted to give about our work. At the end of the day, it isn’t worth much if you can’t use our platform, and if people don’t understand what we’re doing. So working with Nick helped us articulate and convey those messages to physicians, to pharmaceutical companies, to the patients themselves – to everybody involved.”
