Sophie Platt

BSc BVSc MRCVS

Sophie completed a BSc degree in Animal Science at Nottingham Uni before going to Bristol Vet School as a mature student. She qualified as a vet in 2012, and after a short stint in mixed practice has been a small animal vet ever since. She currently works in a first opinion practice in Hampshire, and particularly enjoys internal medicine and diagnostic imaging. Her practice covers all veterinary work for the local Cats Protection Charity too.
In addition to her clinical work, Sophie dabbles with some medical writing and loves the variety this brings. Away from work, Sophie has 2 young girls and a daft spaniel called Louie who loves walks on the beach. Together, her family enjoys water sports and trips in their campervan.
