DVM Hannah Godwin
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 focused 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.
In 2018, Hannah began working at a smaller, independent practice close to home, in order to devote more time to her other loves – writing comedy fiction and spending time with her young family. She now spreads herself across clinical and non-clinical veterinary roles, including working as a locum vet, being Community Lead for a team of Human Factors trainers, and using her writing skills to help educate and inform pet owners.
