OVID Health

Overview

OVID Health is an independent healthcare communications agency headquartered in London, working with pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences organisations to drive meaningful health and societal change. Founded by former journalist and political adviser Jenny Ousbey, the agency was built on the belief that healthcare organisations achieve greater impact when corporate communications, public affairs and patient advocacy are brought together in a truly integrated way.
OVID Health specialises in complex and highly regulated therapy areas, including rare disease, oncology, neurology and cell and gene therapy. The agency works at the intersection of science, policy and patients’ lived experience, helping clients navigate scientific complexity, shifting policy landscapes and rising expectations from patients, healthcare professionals and society through insight‑led, patient‑centred communications.
The agency’s approach is shaped around three core pillars — Connect, Create and Campaign — building partnerships across policymakers, healthcare professionals and patient communities; developing client programmes that inspire action; and mobilising stakeholders to influence decision‑making and improve outcomes. OVID brings a creative campaigning edge to everything it does, building bridges between the worlds of life sciences and decision‑makers to create impact that lasts.
OVID advises global life science companies including Novo Nordisk, Amgen, Chiesi and Novartis, supporting programmes spanning corporate reputation, policy and advocacy engagement, patient and HCP communications, and integrated international campaigns.
With a growing footprint across the UK, Europe and the U.S., OVID Health partners with ambitious clients seeking senior counsel, deep sector expertise and meaningful change at scale
