Faye Buckley
Head Receptionist
Veterinary nursing has been a lifelong ambition for Faye; in May 2016 in order to support her studies she volunteered with us for five weeks. Faye impressed us with her dedication and enthusiasm and agreed to join us full time as Patient Care Assistant. She now divides her time in the practice between caring for the inpatients to helping on Reception. Central to Faye’s nursing is her care and compassion for animals. Outside of work Faye enjoys going to the gym, running and all things craft! She has a French Bulldog called Eric who is a familiar face within the practice and three cats Nellie, Cedric and Cyril.
