The Biggest PR Problem in Healthcare Isn't Misinformation, It's Invisibility

Healthcare organisations have never produced more valuable content. Hospitals are pioneering research, health services are improving patient outcomes, medical professionals are driving innovation, and public health agencies are generating critical insights every day.
Yet much of this work never reaches journalists, policymakers, patients, or the broader community.
The biggest public relations challenge facing healthcare today is not misinformation. It is invisibility.
Despite significant investment in communications, many important healthcare stories fail to gain traction because they are difficult to find, difficult to access, or disappear shortly after publication.

How do you get your timing right with every media pitch?

In a recent Muck Rack journalists survey, about a fourth of respondents attributed their immediate rejection of pitches to bad timing. On average, that means one-quarter of your Media Pitches are dismissed immediately. Confusing subject lines also dramatically increase out-of-hand rejections by journalists. Imagine if you could get the timing and subject lines perfect every time. There is a way.

PR tools to triage your media response

The medical sector has policies that allow them to manage short term crisis and disaster responses; however, events like COVID have demonstrated that these responses become increasingly fragile over extended time frames. This is partly from a lack of access to equipment, medical supplies and the accumulated physical and medical toll paid by health professionals. It is also due to successive governments' erosion of funding and long-term investment.

Have you mistakenly believed a news page is enough?

Expecting a journalist to use your ‘news page’ on your website to build newsworthy stories on your brand or organisation is like handing a builder a hammer and asking them to build a house. It’s simply not enough to get the job done. Your PR team is always in ‘push’ mode, sending out press releases and spending most of their time trying to convince journalists that writing stories on your organisation are in their best interest. The fact of the matter is if you are not prepared to treat journalists with respect, then they will return the favour.
