Grace Parkinson
Summary of work
I am a highly organised team player who strives to deliver top-quality work to my clients with a smile on my face. After completing my degree in Consumer Behaviour and Marketing, I was keen to see how this translated into healthcare. Since joining Syneos Health® in 2017, I have supported my clients in understanding their markets, and how both HCPs and patients behave in them. I have also translated their technical data into trusted educational programmes.
I am passionate about the impact our work has on patients’ lives and am so grateful to be able to help improve patient outcomes every day through the projects I work on. This passion, teamed with my positive and proactive attitude, has allowed me to build strong relationships with my clients and teams throughout my career so far.
I have shown my dedication to the advancement of healthcare communications and patient outcomes throughout my career at Syneos Health®, from starting as a temporary Quality and Process Consultant, to now being a Senior Account Executive leading multiple best-in-class medical education programmes on one of the highest performing accounts in the agency.
