In addition to her clinical work, Dr. North has a strong academic and research background. In 2010, she was awarded a Master of Surgery from the University of Sydney for her research on the development of inner ear hair cells, conducted in collaboration with the Ear Institute at University College London. Her research secured a Project Award Grant from the Garnett Passe Memorial Foundation.
Dr. North is deeply involved in medical education and international research. She has delivered lectures at global conferences and serves as an editor for Cochlear Implant International Journal on behalf of the British Cochlear Implant Group.

Reviews
Very professional yet tender with her little patient
Dr North was very thorough when it came to my daughters treatment and surgery. Answered all the questions and concerns that I had
We recently had both of my sons’ tonsils and adenoids removed by Dr Hannah North, and I couldn’t be happier with the care we received. She was calm, kind, and reassuring every step of the way, which made the whole process much easier for both the boys and us as parents. The surgery went smoothly, and their recovery has been fantastic. We’re so grateful for her professionalism and genuine care — highly recommend Dr North
