Built for Clinicians at Every Career Stage

Whether you're writing your first case report or refining your tenth research paper,
Write to Publish meets you where you are.
Registrars

Building your portfolio for specialty training?

You know publications matter for ST3, ACF, and academic foundation applications. You understand the scoring matrix — and that first-author papers carry the most weight. Write to Publish gives you the structured path to get from clinical observation to journal submission, and the strategic knowledge to make every publication count on your application.
Researchers

Publishing, but tired of revisions and rejections?

our clinical insight isn't the problem. It's structural: a methodology that doesn't hold up to scrutiny, a discussion that overclaims, or a cover letter that fails to make the case. Write to Publish sharpens the fundamentals — from data presentation to peer review rebuttals — so your next submission reflects the quality of your thinking.
Med Students

Want to get ahead before you graduate?

How do you choose a case that's actually worth writing up? What about patient consent? How do you get a supervisor on board? Write to Publish starts with case reports — the most practical first publication — and covers the absolute basics of submission, ethics, and reviewer correspondence. You don't need to wait.

The Publication Gap

Most manuscripts don't fail because the clinical work isn't good enough. They fail before they're even read — killed by a cover letter that doesn't make the case.
Papers that never get finished
Without a clear framework, you stall at the discussion section, struggle with journal selection, or abandon projects when the methodology feels shaky. "Almost published" doesn't appear on any scoring matrix. It scores zero points. And every month a half-finished manuscript sits in your drive is a month your CV stays the same.
Submissions that keep coming back
Perhaps the IMRAD structure isn't quite right. The abstract doesn't read as a competitive pitch. The literature review misses key sources. Or you're submitting to journals that don't match your work. Each rejection costs months — and the confidence hit makes the next attempt harder.
No map for the journey
Nobody taught you this in medical school — because medical schools don't teach academic publishing. Your supervisor is too busy to walk you through it. Online resources contradict each other. So you're left figuring it out alone, unsure whether your work meets the standard.

What Makes Write to Publish Different?

This isn't a generic academic writing course. It's a programme built by published medical authors, for clinicians, covering every publication type you'll encounter — with the practical skills to get your work into print.

Every publication type

Case reports, abstracts, reviews, and original research papers — each with their own structure, strategy, and submission conventions. From the most accessible first publication to the most complex.

Built for clinical reality

Video presentations you can watch between shifts. Practical activities that build real skills. Knowledge-check quizzes that reinforce learning. Everything designed for clinicians working full-time rotas.

Three expert presenters

Led by Dr Gail Busby, with faculty from Professor Ray Chaudhuri and Dr Kit Wu. You're learning from authors who actively publish, peer review, and know what editors want.

Beyond the manuscript

Databases, citations, data presentation, ethics, peer review rebuttals, and responsible AI use. The skills most courses skip — and the ones that separate manuscripts that survive review from those that don't.

The Curriculum: 10 Modules

Structured in two parts — four major publication types, then six essential academic skills. Each module combines video presentations, practical activities, and knowledge-check quizzes.
Part 1 - Publication Types

1. Case Reports

Your most practical first publication
Case reports capture real-world observations missed in large trials: rare presentations, diagnostic pitfalls, and novel treatment responses. They're usually the most practical first publication for clinicians.
  • Spot clinical cases with publishable value and define the core learning point
  • Run a focused literature search to confirm novelty and shape the angle
  • Draft a complete case report using standard journal structure
  • Write a Discussion that connects to evidence without overclaiming
  • Prepare the submission package, choose a journal, and manage rejection
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

2. Abstracts

Your competitive academic pitch
An abstract isn't a summary — it's a competitive academic pitch. Conference committees and journal editors often decide acceptance based solely on the abstract.
  • Select appropriate conferences based on level, audience, and competitiveness
  • Structure abstracts using standard scientific formats
  • Write precise, hypothesis-driven objectives
  • Present results with clear data rather than vague statements
  • Avoid common abstract errors that lead to rejection
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

3. Reviews

Synthesis that shapes clinical Practice
Well-executed reviews achieve strong citation impact because they provide accessible synthesis of complex evidence. Poorly designed reviews are rapidly rejected.
  • Differentiate review types and select appropriately
  • Formulate structured research questions
  • Design transparent and reproducible search strategies
  • Apply inclusion and exclusion criteria rigorously
  • Assess study quality and risk of bias
  • Structure and write a publishable review manuscript
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

4. Research Papers

The core currency of academic progression
Original research papers demonstrate methodological competence, subject expertise, and the ability to generate new knowledge. Promotion, grant success, and academic credibility depend heavily on well-designed research outputs.
  • Design a feasible and clinically relevant research question
  • Structure a manuscript using IMRAD
  • Describe methods transparently and reproducibly
  • Present results clearly without interpretation creep
  • Write a balanced discussion with appropriate limitations
  • Select journals strategically and avoid common rejection patterns
 Video    Practical    Quiz 
Part 2 - Essential Academic Skills

5. Medical Databases

The foundation of credible literature
  • Understand the role of major biomedical databases
  • Construct structured and reproducible search strategies
  • Identify indexing terms and subject headings
  • Track citations and author profiles
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

6. Citations

Intellectual honesty and evidence grounding
  • Understand major citation styles in medical publishing
  • Match manuscript formatting to journal requirements
  • Reference primary sources appropriately
  • Avoid plagiarism and citation manipulation
  • Use reference management software effectively
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

7. Data Collection & Presentation

Data integrity determines manuscript survival
  • Design a coherent data plan aligned to a research aim
  • Define variables precisely and recognise sources of bias
  • Structure datasets for analysis
  • Present findings that withstand peer review scrutiny
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

8. Ethics in Research & Publication

Plan before you collect - not after
  • Understand core ethical principles in clinical research
  • Differentiate audit from research
  • Recognise when formal approval is required
  • Write clear ethics statements for manuscripts
  • Anticipate common ethical concerns raised by reviewers
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

9. Peer Review & Rebuttals

Turn major revisions into acceptances
  • Interpret editorial decisions
  • Analyse reviewer comments objectively
  • Prepare a structured point-by-point rebuttal
  • Strengthen a manuscript during revision
  • Resubmit strategically after rejection
 Video    Practical    Quiz 

10. AI in Medical Academic Writing

Use AI ethically and effectively.
  • Understand appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI in academic writing
  • Recognise ethical and journal policy considerations
  • Evaluate risks of inaccuracy and bias
  • Integrate AI tools responsibly into your workflow

Common Questions

Who is this programme for?
Write to Publish is designed for clinicians at every career stage — medical students wanting their first case report, registrars building portfolios for specialty training, and established researchers looking to reduce rejections. The 10 modules span case reports through to original research papers, plus the essential academic skills that underpin every piece of published work.
I'm working full-time clinical hours. Is this realistic?
Yes. Content is delivered through video presentations, practical activities, and knowledge-check quizzes — all available on-demand. There are no fixed live sessions. You work through the material around your rota, not the other way round.
What publication types does the programme cover?
Modules 1–4 cover case reports, abstracts, review articles, and original research papers. Modules 5–10 then cover medical databases, citations, data collection and presentation, research ethics, peer review and rebuttals, and responsible use of AI in academic writing.
£750 is a significant investment. What's the return?
Published first-author papers are explicitly scored in ST3 applications, ACF interviews, and specialty selection criteria. "Almost published" scores zero. Beyond career value, you receive 30 accredited CPD points, lifetime access to all materials, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Payment plans are available.
I've been writing for years, but keep getting rejections. Is this too basic?
Not at all. Modules on research papers, data presentation, and peer review rebuttals are specifically relevant for experienced authors. Common rejection causes — weak methodology, poor data presentation, mismatched journal targeting, and defensive rebuttal responses — are addressed directly.
Is the CPD accreditation recognised for ARCP and appraisal?
Yes. The programme carries 30 externally accredited CPD hours, which can be logged in your learning portfolio for ARCP and annual appraisal purposes.
Does the programme cover AI tools for academic writing?
Yes. Module 10 addresses the responsible use of AI in medical academic writing — including appropriate applications, ethical considerations, journal policies, and how to integrate AI tools without introducing risk.
