Writing for Publication course

Get trained to publish research by EALTHY President Professor John Skelton

We’re delighted to announce that EALTHY President John Skelton is one of the experts leading group workshops in the hybrid version of our Writing for Publication course, which adds two 1.5-hour sessions onto the digital course that John wrote.
Anyone who has been to an EALTHY English for Healthcare conference knows just how engaging and thoughtful John is. Now you, your researchers and other academics looking to publish in an international peer-reviewed journal can work directly with him.

John really knows what he’s talking about. He has published widely in Clinical Communication, Applied Linguistics and related areas, with research published in The Lancet, BMJ, Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching Journal, amongst many others. He has taught courses on Writing for Publication to students in many parts of the world.

What’s in the course?

Writing for Publication consists of 30 hours of digital study that take researchers through the publishing process in clearly defined steps, covering the language, conventions and process – from planning through to submission, with multiple examples and practical writing tasks.

The workshops build on the course. Participants go through it beforehand and then get input and feedback on the areas they most need. The workshops are for small groups. They are collaborative, practical and focused. At the end, participating researchers will be clear on the next steps they need to take to successfully submit their articles for publication.

How does it work?

Workshops take place on Zoom, though in-person may potentially be arranged. They are delivered either as two 1.5-hour workshops, or as one 3-hour workshop with a break in the middle.
These are designed as group sessions for between 8 and 12 participants. However, bespoke programmes can be designed for different size groups or individuals, or to meet specific needs.

How much does it cost?

Prices are only from £149 per person for EALTHY members and associated institutions, to include the digital course and any materials.

How do I arrange a course for my team?

Please note that John’s time is limited, so if you would like to work with him, please let us know as soon as you can.
