UK-based firm joins the Public Relations Global Network, boosting patient-centered healthcare and life science communications expertise worldwide
(LONDON / NEW YORK / BRUSSELS, March 25, 2026) – The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) announced today that OVID Health, an independent public relations and public affairs agency based in London, UK, has joined the network. OVID Health, with its healthcare focus joins PRGN as demand grows for patient-centered, insight-led work in healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
The addition comes as healthcare organizations shift from one-way news to collaborative dialogue with patients, healthcare professionals and the public. OVID works where science, policy and patient needs meet. The agency will help PRGN member agencies support clients in complex and highly regulated markets.
“OVID Health brings a new level of expertise to PRGN, especially in healthcare, pharma, and biotech,,” said Frédéric François, President of PRGN and managing partner of two cents in Belgium and the Netherlands. “Their focus on patient-centered strategies and their deep understanding of the UK, European and global markets will help our network offer even stronger support to clients who need to reach people in meaningful ways. This is an important step for PRGN, as we grow our presence in health communications.”
Founded by former journalist and political adviser Jenny Ousbey, OVID Health helps organizations connect with patients, health care stakeholders and policy leaders. The agency integrates policy, advocacy and public relations and supports global life science firms, including leaders in rare disease, oncology, neurology and cell and gene therapy.
“PRGN brings together independent agencies that share a belief in the power of communications to drive real-world impact, and that alignment really matters to us,” said Jenny Ousbey, CEO and Founder of OVID Health. “As a healthcare specialist agency, we work at the intersection of science, policy and patients’ lived experience, helping organizations engage more meaningfully with patients, healthcare professionals and society. Becoming part of PRGN allows us to collaborate with like-minded partners around the world, extend the support we can offer global pharmaceutical and healthcare brands, and contribute our perspective on patient-centered, insight-driven communications in complex and highly regulated markets.”
PRGN now has two agencies located in the United Kingdom. Rooster, PRGN’s other UK member agency joined the network in 2025 and is known for creative storytelling and results-focused work across B2B, consumer, property and travel. The two agencies expand PRGN’s reach across Europe with both broad and deep skills.
The healthcare field continues to change, with reports showing many groups now invest in new ways to reach patients, often using digital tools and data to make care more personal. OVID Health’s insight-led approach incorporates proprietary data measurement tools and can help clients manage increasingly complex innovation challenges, policy change and rising public needs.
With OVID Health joining, PRGN strengthens its promise of combining local insights with global reach. The network can now offer boosted support for health, pharma and biotech clients, where deep expertise can facilitate increased market access for clients.
