Welcome to Virgo Health

Healthcare is an industry with people at its heart. And everything we do through communication is about helping people make better decisions about health and wellbeing. That’s why “Being Human” is so important.

Being Human means communicating in a personalised and authentic way. It means recognising what people really think, believe and do. It means understanding our clients and audiences as individuals. It means working together with conviction, integrity and passion to do an outstanding job that achieves exceptional results.

All our work is about being real, being relevant and above all… Being Human.

Being Human in practice

Being the best we can humanly be and doing the most we can humanly do

Our Virgo vision is to deliver a truly personal service where the exceptional is always the rule. Our mission is to constantly raise the bar in healthcare communications.

As a genuinely values-driven, people-centric business, committed to putting our clients and our team first, we have long understood the need to put humans at the centre of everything we do.

We take the greatest pride in delivering human insight-driven, ground-breaking and award-winning health communications that make a real difference.

We’re proud to have been named 2015 EMEA Healthcare Consultancy of the Year. It matters to us because our submission was all about Being Human. Would the judges get it? Yes they did! They said our approach was “a transformation of Virgo’s offer to help it keep pace with the fundamental changes in their clients’ operating environments. [It] recognises the ways in which pharma businesses now face increased scrutiny and reputational challenges, and require less in the way of pharma brand PR versus communicating innovative, high-value medicines to an increasingly savvy and cynical audience.”
