Dan Richards-Doran | Communications Consultancy & Copywriting

Hi, I’m Dan Richards-Doran.

I’m a science communications specialist, science writer / copywriter, and executive coach “in-training.”

I’m dedicated to supporting researchers and research organisations to better utilise communications to unlock the potential of their work and their people.

My approach is to apply tried and tested communications and public relations theories and frameworks, alongside 18 years’ experience as a communications professional in the science and technology sector.

Before offering my services as an independent consultant, I managed communications and engagement programmes for several well-known scientific institutions in the UK.

I originally trained as a scientist, I’m an experienced writer and copywriter, and I have postgraduate diplomas in science communication and public relations.

Bringing Dan Richards-Doran onboard for the NIHR Three Schools Mental Health Programme has been so beneficial. Dan has conducted a stakeholder analysis and suggested a communications strategy that will form a strong foundation for the programme as we move forward from the set-up. Dan has given us some very useful insights into how we can communicate the impact of the research and the capacity development from the programme.
