The Birth of MediaRX

Nurse Alice is dedicated to helping health professionals bring their expertise into the media and guiding media outlets in creating authentic and accurate health content.

The reason she started MediaRX goes back to a pivotal moment in her career. After reaching a career high of becoming Patient Safety Manager of a world renowned hospital, the discovery of her media involvement unexpectedly led to her wrongfully getting fired.

For her it was never about being popular or being on TV. It's always been about empowering people with information so they can take action to live healthier lives.

As healthcare professionals it is our duty to do so, but if you’re going to use media as a form of advocacy, it is critical to navigate the workplace and media landscape confidently and ethically.
