Veterinary surgeons

John graduated with an honours degree from Liverpool University in 1978 and worked in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Berkshire before finally settling in Yorkshire in 1985. John enjoys all aspects of mixed practice, though most of his time is now spent at the surgery. John believes that our practice needs to have the flexibility to allow each veterinary surgeon to follow up their own caseload to allow the best possible continuation of patient care. He’s a big proponent of sharing knowledge and expertise between the team. Outside of work, John keeps a small flock of pedigree Texel sheep at home.

Jane was brought up and educated in North Yorkshire, before graduating from Liverpool University with an honours degree in 1979. Having worked in farm and equine practice for several years, she decided to concentrate on companion animal medicine and surgery. Jane is particularly interested in medical cases, dermatology, ophthalmology and all types of surgery, and regularly attends courses to further her knowledge in these fields. In her spare time, Jane breeds Labradors, and has a real interest in inherited health problems in pedigree dogs, and how these can be avoided. Also Jane enjoys breeding and training gundogs, and working on her small farm.

Hayley graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2007 after completing her degree in pharmacology and veterinary science. After working at Cundall & Duffy for her first six years in practice, Hayley moved to Clevedale Vets where she completed her certificate in small animal surgery. Hayley returned to Cundall & Duffy in June 2017 where she hopes to further her interest in small animal orthopaedics. Hayley enjoys breeding and showing her flock of Herdwick sheep alongside her partner and with the help of their sheepdog, Nell.

Chris graduated from Cambridge University in 1978 and, following a short spell in a practice in Hull, came to work in 1983 for the practice that was to become Cundall & Duffy. Chris is from a well-known local Sherburn family and still lives in the area with his wife. His main clinical interests include equine and farm work. Outside work he is heavily involved with point-to-pointing and still rides his own pointers. His twice-yearly visits to the Cheltenham Festival are set in stone and no-one at the practice can ever remember him missing one!
