Vivid MedComms, experts in rare and speciality diseases, part of the Lucid Group of companies, has strengthened their senior client services team with the appointment of a new Associate Business Unit Director, Derek Annan.

Derek is an experienced med comms professional with a strong scientific background, including two post-graduate qualifications – an MSc in Pharmaceutical Technology from Kings College London, and a PhD in Biotechnology from Cranfield University. 

Derek started his med comms career with ICC Health (then BrandX), before moving his way up through the ranks in Apothecom, Virgo Health and most recently Cogora, where he held the position of Client Services Director. Derek has a wealth of expertise in rare and speciality diseases such as hypophosphatasia, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cystinosis and other rare oncological and genetic disorders.

“I am thrilled to be joining Vivid MedComms at such an exciting time. It’s not often you get the chance to work in an organisation where everyone shares the same vision and passion. We all strive to make a difference to patients’ lives with transformative programmes that could quite simply be described as magic.”
