Hannah Scott

Dr Hannah Scott was raised in rural South Devon. At university, she studied medicine with an intercalated BSc in the Politics and Economics of International Health. She went on to specialise in anaesthetics, becoming a consultant in a central London teaching hospital. Her work took her to the Bronx in New York and to Hong Kong.

After COVID, Scott stepped back from medicine to dedicate herself entirely to a creative practice in both writing and fine art. She writes about anaesthesia—its history, science, methods, and training—told through the stories of they many inspiring patients she cared for during her years in the operating theatre. 

In 2025 she received an MA in sculpture from the Royal College of Art. She continues to write and produce art from her studio in North West London.
