Goddard studied medicine at St John's College, Cambridge, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1988, a Bachelor of Surgery (BChir) degree in 1990 and a Bachelor of Medicine (MB) degree in 1991. He undertook house officer rotations at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge before becoming a research fellow at the University of Nottingham in 1994.[2][3] He was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree by the University of Cambridge in 1997.[4] His MD involved research into the treatment of Helicobacter pylori,[1] and his thesis was titled "Factors influencing antibiotic transfer across the gastric mucosa".[5] Goddard became a consultant gastroenterologist at the Royal Derby Hospital in 2002.[6]
He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP) in 2005.[4] Goddard was the RCP Registrar from 2014 to 2018, the head of the RCP's Medical Workforce Unit between 2008 and 2013, and the chair of the New Consultants Committee between 2005 and 2007.
