Finalist
Ben Dory
Summary of work
Ben entered the health communications industry just three years ago, with an unconventional set of wider interests that includes the increasingly critical area environmental sustainability.
He used this time to evolve and grow MHP’s Life Sciences Sustainability offer, such that it is in an advanced position to leverage the strong interest industry is now showing in this area.
Ben has already worked on some of the most impactful and innovative health communications programmes around. Leading critical components of MSD’s campaign to include boys in the National Immunisation Programme for Human Papillomavirus, Ben tangibly contributed towards a health policy change that will now ensure 300,000 boys are protected from HPV-related cancers each year.
Ben takes a diligent, careful but creative approach to public affairs and policy – setting a benchmark of quality and rigour for others to follow. This is all underpinned by his strong principled belief that the best possible healthcare should be available to all who need it.
