Support team

Nikki joined the practice in 1989 as head nurse. After having her daughter in 1995, she moved over to head receptionist, and then over time took on the position of practice administrator. She holds the veterinary practice administration certificate and also completed the veterinary care assistants diploma. Currently she is working on a feline behaviour and psychology course, as cats and their behaviour have always interested her. Nikki lives with four cats, six ducks, a pet squirrel, three horses and a nutty working Cocker Spaniel called Peggy who, to say the least, is challenging after always owning Collies.

Kim has been with working at Falkland Veterinary Clinic as a receptionist since 2007. At home she has an adopted kitten named Fudge.

Lisa has been a veterinary receptionist for 10 years and joined the practice in 2008. She has owned dogs and horses, and has a passion for all animals and their welfare. In her spare time Lisa enjoys horse riding, running, swimming and walking dogs with her husband.

Emily has worked here since September 2019 and she loves it! Every day is different and she's learning so much all the time. In the past she's had everything from rats to rabbits to fish, and even a Bearded Dragon. She can’t wait for her next... whatever it is. She went to uni in Wales to study Drama and Theatre Studies, and still has an interest in anything dramatic, musical or creative (especially if it involves food, paint, or anything messy), as well as animals and wildlife of course!

Debbie has worked at Falkland Veterinary Clinic since December 2015. Before this, she worked in mortgage arrears debt management. She lives in Thatcham with her husband, two children and two dogs, Millie, a Lurcher and Holly, a Labradoodle. She enjoys walks with her family and crafting with her sister.
