OUR Experts & Volunteers

CAM was set up and is led by award winning vet Dr Hannah Capon, winner of the 2019 CEVA Vet of the Year Award and the 2020 Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Impact Award. Hannah’s goal is to educate people about canine arthritis.

She does this by creating online content about the early detection and multimodal management of canine arthritis for caregivers and professionals alike. However behind any great person is always a great team! CAM has a huge army of professionals and volunteers bringing their expertise and experience to ensure CAM’s continuing success.
