He founded TalkCPR.com and has a national lead role to improve public understanding on topics relevant to care in the last years of life and at the extreme ends of medicine. He has given a Ted Talk on why subtleties in language are critical in modern healthcare. He writes for international newspapers like the Washington Post, where his op-ed ended up being a top pick for 2019. Mark took part in a BBC Horizon programme alongside Kevin Fong, and has also done extensive media work with television, theatre and radio. He has talked about medical topics at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, at Hay Literary Festival and the Science Museum in London. He has featured on two BBC's Listening Projects.

A few years ago he had a brief brush with fame, when his posthumous letter to David Bowie, which discussed the importance of good end of life care, went viral online and in global newsrooms. The letter has been made into a touring classical music composition which was aired on BBC Radio 3, and has been publicly read by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Jarvis Cocker, in locations including New York, London, Hay-on-Wye, Edinburgh and Berlin.
