Amy Sykes BVetMed MRCVS
Amy graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 2017. She spent her first year in a mixed practice in the Peak District, where she found that she really enjoyed the small animal aspect of her work. Whilst she loves all smallies she has a particular fondness for rabbits. Outside of work she enjoys swimming and walking, and has recently started baking. She lives locally with her two dwarf rabbits and her Springador puppy, Harvey, who can often be seen ‘helping’ around the practice.
