Patrick Dale qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon from Liverpool University in 1986. Working in Frome in Somerset for a year after graduation helped me develop an interest in both horses and small animals.
Subsequently working in a truly mixed practice in Henley Arden in Warwickshire, gave me experience with cattle and sheep.
Settling in Tring in 1988 then led me into rather a happy niche, dealing once more with both horses and small animals, but ultimately from 2003 with small animals only. Amongst other interests, at home I live with my wife, children, dog, cat, sheep, and chickens.
Holly Arnott graduated from the Royal Veterinary College of London in 2005. She has worked at a local small animal practice for the past 11 years and has joined Springwell Vets in May 2018.
Holly has a keen interest in surgery and has completed a General Practitioners certificate in Small Animal Practice.
She has two English Springer Spaniels - Lottie and Maggie (Lottie's daughter), a Border Collie - Nell, a Jack Russel - Molly and a Rhodesian Ridgeback - Tally, and two horses - Popcorn and Christie. The animals have plenty of space though as she lives on a dairy farm, so it isn't as crazy as it seems!
Wendy Lintern is originally from North Yorkshire, she qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in London and went straight into work at a local practice where she worked for 8 years before joining Springwell in May 2012.
Outside of work Wendy enjoys running and going on active holidays including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!
Faye Spencelayh is originally from Norfolk and qualified in 2011 from the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science. She worked in a local small animal practice for 2 years before joining Springwell earlier this year.
She lives in Wendover with her husband Kevin, who is also a small animal vet working in the local area, her son Benjamin and her two cats Bumble and Bailey who she adopted when they were stray kittens. Outside of work Faye enjoys playing badminton, shopping and spending time with friends and family.
