We Wake Up the Science
At Pedley Communications, we make sure your science doesn't sleep in. We help pharma and biotech bring their stories to life, developing strategies, shaping narratives, and creating materials that are accurate, insightful, and impactful.
Pedley Communications is an independent consultancy of senior medical communications professionals. With decades of experience, we bring strategic vision, scientific rigour and compelling narrative together to create communications that are clear, precise, and above all engaging for healthcare professionals, patients, and other key stakeholders.
Driven by a simple ethos: accuracy, insights, and impact. We partner with you to bring science to life.
I’m Dr. Sally Stringer, founder of Pedley Communications. My career began in molecular biology, with a PhD and research leadership focused on gene targeting and development. I then moved into medical communications, where I held writing, strategic and leadership roles before founding Pedley. That combination of science and communications still fuels my fascination with today’s breakthroughs, especially in rare disease and oncology, and the transformative potential of gene and cell therapies.
Science is only part of the story. I’m passionate about making sure new therapies truly deliver for patients. My time as a director with a creative rare disease, patient-focused group deepened my commitment to putting patient voices at the centre of every conversation.
Senior expertise, strategic clarity, and flawless execution.

Pharma
Challenge: The client needed to align cross-functional teams on brand tactics despite competing priorities, limited resources, and differing market views.
Biotech Startup
Challenge: Medical teams struggled to deliver accessible patient education materials in rare disease. Existing PDFs were outdated and difficult for patients to navigate.
EU Pharma
Challenge: The client needed a clear oncology lexicon to align messaging and avoid inconsistent terminology that could confuse HCPs and weaken storytelling.

The cockerel became our mascot during the Covid years, when I was running medical communications from a half-finished office in the barn at Pedley Fold Farm. In my spare time, I started breeding our chickens, and before long, three cockerels arrived on the scene.
They were… enthusiastic. So much so that their “crow-offs” often provided a very loud soundtrack to my Zoom calls and client presentations! Thankfully, we’re now back to just one resident cockerel, Pepper, though don’t be surprised if you still hear him joining in from time to time.
For me, the cockerel is the perfect symbol for Pedley Communications: he announces the start of the day, wakes up the farm, and reminds us to bring energy, clarity, and impact, just like we do when we “wake up the science”.
