Dr. Hannah Godfrey BVetMed MRCVS
Hannah graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011 and began work straight away at a busy mixed practice. Initially, she treated all species, but focussed on small animals from 2014. She has a passion for soft tissue surgery, ultrasound, and canine and feline dentistry, having completed additional training in these areas.
Since 2018, she has worked at a smaller, independent practice close to home, in order to devote more time to her other love – writing comedy fiction. February 2023 marks a big development in Hannah’s career, as she moves from permanent clinical veterinary work to become an Editor for a global medical communications company. She won’t be giving up clinical work altogether, though, and will still do regular locum shifts at her local veterinary practices.
