Cheryls husband is a sufferer of Chronic Pancreatitis and feels the more information and support you can access online about any particular condition or illness makes it so much more bearable for the patient, their families and carer's. Just knowing that there are people in much the same situation can be a huge help in not feeling isolated.

Zosia Kmietowicz

Zosia Kmietowicz is a freelance medical journalist based in the UK. She has been writing for both medical and consumer audiences on health and medical issues for 20 years. She is a regular contributor and part-time news editor on the BMJ and also a contributing editor on the award-winning evidence-based consumer website Best Treatments. Zosia covers all medical subject areas and particularly enjoys writing in a style that is both accessible and meaningful to a lay audience, but which reflects current research and knowledge.

Ed Rowe

Ed is a established freelance copywriter with a background in journalism and publishing. After leaving University, Ed went travelling in Europe. He spent the next half-decade training and working as a Registered General Nurse, which explains his interest in health and illness. Next a postgraduate qualification in periodical journalism led him out into the big wonderful world of the media. After several wide-eyed years, Ed retreated to the wilds of Sussex, where he can usually be found wandering through local fields clutching a pair of binoculars and a field guide.

Ed says that MS Active Source is a fascinating project to work on because it combined two of his long-standing concerns: providing good-quality information for patients and making the Internet relevant to ordinary people.
