Alex Bunn
There was never any one thing that drew Alex to study medicine, just something that drew him to it, and a love for it that is compounded by a supportive team right from his very first day. For Alex, flexible working has allowed him to coordinate his work life around his partners’; a nurse. In his spare time Alex likes to travel as much as possible to where ever he can!
