Bio

Andrew Bodey qualified from Bristol in 1989, and spent 2 years in mixed practice in Staffordshire before moving to companion animals in the south east. In 1995 he moved to North Yorkshire, obtaining his CertVR in 2003. From this he further developed his interest in ionizing radiation, and solved his frustration at having to refer hyperthyroid cats either to Glasgow or Newmarket by establishing the first radio-iodine unit in the North of England, in 2008. In the process he reduced the minimum hospitalization period in the UK to 2 weeks. In September 2013 he founded the Hyperthyroid Cat Centre, near Wetherby, the largest radioiodine facility in Europe, and further reduced the minimum hospitalization period to only 5 days. He has published clinical research on hyperthyroidism in collaboration with the university of Cambridge and is actively involved in ongoing research projects.
