Speaking & Advising
Medical advising for screen and publishing, and speaking on medicine, ethics and the humanities.
Medical advising for screen
Rosalind worked as medical advisor for more than 70 episodes of the BBC's long-running ER drama Casualty, helping to develop storylines with medical scenarios that resonate with the central human stories as much as possible. She gave on-set guidance, attended regular story conferences, and ensured scripts were medically valid.
She has also worked as a medical advisor for Downton Abbey, Holby City, Criminal Justice, Five Days, and various other productions and books. She was accepted for the BBC's Writers Academy in 2011 at Elstree Studios.

- On-set guidance for actors and directors during medical scenes
- Procedural choreography — what a real resus room looks and sounds like
- Consultancy for novelists and radio drama
