Not enough data
Abi's coverage focuses primarily on the UK healthcare sector, particularly NHS-related topics and issues impacting doctors. She frequently cites government announcements and data to support her articles.
For effective outreach, consider providing insights into the impact of government policies or announcements on healthcare professionals, especially with a focus on mental health or medical education. Additionally, if you have access to relevant data that can provide deeper context to these issues, it could be valuable for Abi’s reporting.
Given Abi's emphasis on the United Kingdom in her coverage attributes and article titles without specific geographic focus mentioned otherwise, pitches should align with developments within the UK healthcare system.

“‘No' is one of those short, primal words from very early in language development. When said, it's invariably accompanied by obvious, often unconscious, changes in your body language and tone. If that denial is unexpected, questionable, or delivered in a paternalistic way we should not be surprised by the similarly primitive emotions like anger and sadness such a word provokes. The doctor-patient relationship is too important to risk, it must be protected. You will have to say no at some point, and there are steps you can take to reduce the unpleasantness of refusal.
