Prescript

What Prescript does

Prescript Communications Ltd is an independent UK-based healthcare communications agency founded in 2003 and headquartered in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire. The firm operates exclusively in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology vertical, delivering five integrated service lines: medical communications (publication planning, medical education, thought-leader programmes), brand communications (pre-launch, launch, lifecycle), market access (HEOR publications, HTA submissions, stakeholder engagement), commercial and medical operations (launch excellence, training programmes), and corporate communications (change, employee engagement).

Its core differentiator is a cross-functional team of 40+ experts covering strategy, editorial, creative, digital, learning design, and client services under a single roof, enabling an end-to-end engagement model from molecule to patient. The proprietary Ignyte Learning Ecosystem — a digital platform delivering self-directed, bite-sized, humanised learning content to healthcare professionals — represents the firm's only documented technology asset beyond the services themselves.

Commercially, Prescript operates as a sales-led B2B professional services firm, acquiring clients through its website contact form, email, phone outreach, and a newly-outsourced digital marketing function (Sopro/Prospect Global). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and serves clients primarily across the UK and Europe. The leadership team comprises five functional directors led by Managing Director Justyn Cassell.
