The Star Award for the Rising Star in Healthcare Communications

Summary of work

Lucy brought a fresh approach as a graduate that has seen her role expand rapidly. Following her introduction in the area of Market Access, Lucy’s integration into Litmus allowed both colleagues and clients to benefit from her healthcare environment knowledge – leading to her being awarded team leadership roles across a number of key accounts. It was Lucy’s project management skills and professionalism which resulted in her selection for a secondment in 2013. This transition to in-house consultant earned great respect from both the client and her colleagues at Litmus. In 2013 Lucy has successfully navigated numerous projects including a website launch, four international congresses, two large stand-alone meetings (400+ delegates), 22 advisory boards and three Rising Stars events – a huge achievement.

“Lucy is a natural strategist and problem solver and this makes for a powerful leader of the future. But Lucy is so much more; her empathy and enthusiasm draw people to her and she creates an enriched team dynamic that is ambitious and goal focused at the same time as being collaborative. Lucy combines skill and expertise in professional relations, medical content development and market access to design and execute integrated solutions.”

Judges comments

Lucy was delightful and showed herself to be a determined self-starter with a good solid pair of hands that you could trust to deliver. She understood the relevance of external pressures, thanks to a bold and brave decision to take up a client-side secondment in a different country.
