Who We Are

Victoria Ellington

William Ellington

Victoria English and William Ellington, respectively Editor and Executive Editor of MedNous, are seasoned print journalists who know the importance of serving their readers well.

 Medical entrepreneurs have to make sense of many disparate facts and events in the areas of government policy, medical regulation, intellectual property rights, commercial law, finance and accounting. Victoria and William hope to help lighten the load by using their reporting skills to make complex issues become clear and concise.

Victoria has worked as a full-time staff reporter and editor for several large publishing organisations in the US and Europe for 30 years. William has had a distinguished career as a financial writer, publisher and new product developer.

Victoria started her journalism career as a college student reporting for the American civil rights newspaper, The Southern Courier. She received a Masters Degree in journalism from the Columbia University School of Journalism in 1976 and subsequently worked as a press officer at the United Nations in New York. She joined Dow Jones & Co as a reporter in 1977 and spent eight years in continental Europe with postings in Amsterdam and Brussels. In 1987 she moved to London, at first with McGraw-Hill and later with Reuters, where eventually she assumed the job of medical and health correspondent. In 1999, she joined PJB Publications as a medical reporter for Scrip World Pharmaceutical News and in 2003 she became editor of The Regulatory Affairs Journals.

Victoria is the 2002 recipient of the UK Medical Journalists Association award for excellence in medical journalism.
