Head Veterinary Surgeon & Joint Venture Partner

MA VetMB CertAVP MRCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice

Read Dr Jo Morrall bio

I qualified from Cambridge University in 2006, and since then have worked in small animal and mixed animal practices in both Cambridge and Bedford 

I have a keen interest in exotic animal medicine (everything from a hamster to a chicken to a Harris hawk and more!) and gained a GP certificate in exotic animal medicine in 2010. I am currently working towards an RCVS certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice.

At home I live with my husband and our 2 rescue cats (one of which is deaf, and one only has three legs), our Harris Hawk, and our two owls. In my free time I play judo, ice hockey and enjoy knitting and gardening, trying to grow our own vegetables when the local wild rabbits don't eat them all!

 I am a laboratory chemist by training and have spent 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry, working with both human and animal medicines. It has been a long term goal for Jo and I to open our own Veterinary practice and we have achieved that with Companion Care Bedford.

You can see our menagerie in Jo’s info above and I have been a keen falconer since we got our Harris Hawk Aragorn 6 years ago. We love winter sports and both play as defenders for MK Storm Wreck ice hockey team. We also enjoy cross country skiing and watching biathlon.
