Dermatology SCE

I’m a Consultant Dermatologist currently working in Aberdeen, Scotland. I completed my undergraduate medical training at the University of Liverpool (2007). I subsequently rotated through foundation training, core medical training and spent time as a research fellow in dermatology for a year before completing my dermatology specialist training in 2018.

I have an interest in general dermatology; am a member of the British Society of Medical Dermatology and Scottish Dermatological Society; and have presented in scientific meetings and published several papers in scientific journals.

I thoroughly enjoy writing exam questions for StudyPRN. I find it challenging as it constantly pushes me to keep abreast of the latest in dermatology, yet equally rewarding in the knowledge that it will be helpful to potential candidates.

I graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 2004 and went on to pursue a career in Dermatology. I achieved MRCP (Dermatology) in 2013.

Currently, I am a Consultant Dermatologist working in Swansea Bay University Health Board. I have a keen interest in photo-dermatology and have completed an MD examining the safety and efficacy of Psoralen and UVA. I have presented my findings on a national and international platform: World Congresses of Dermatology Vancouver (2015) and Milan (2019). I am actively participating in clinical research studies on a national basis.

I enjoy teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students and medical colleagues on a regular basis. I am an examiner of theses submitted for Cardiff University's Diploma in Dermatology.

I am a Consultant Dermatologist working in the capacity of Assistant Professor in one of the largest tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan. My specific interests in my field pertain to clinical dermatology, inflammatory conditions, advanced clinical therapies, pediatric dermatology and dermatopathology.

I have completed the Dermatology fellowship program (FCPS) that is affiliated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Pakistan. I have a Specialty Certificate in Dermatology, recognised by the Joint Federation of Royal Colleges (London, Edinburgh, Glasgow) and the British Association of Dermatologists. I am also a board-certified member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine.

I thoroughly enjoy tutoring on the Postgraduate Diploma and MSc Dermatology courses with the University of South Wales. It is a pleasure being a resource author for StudyPRN.

I am a Locum Consultant Dermatologist at the Royal Gwent Hospital with a special interest in cutaneous allergy. I undertook the first cutaneous allergy fellowship in the UK and gained a breadth of experience in patch and skin prick testing, immunology, drug allergy testing, paediatric food allergies and specialist urticarial clinics. I also have a wide range of experience working in medical dermatology.

I am a member of the British Association of Dermatologists, European Society of Cutaneous Dermatitis and British Society for Cutaneous Allergy. I have co-authored a chapter for an international Wiley textbook on the basics of patch testing and published articles on general dermatology and cutaneous allergy in peer-reviewed journals, such as the British Journal of Dermatology and Clinical and Experimental Dermatology. I have a keen interest in education and lecture at the Welsh School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Cardiff) on adverse drug reactions and enjoy authoring for StudyPRN’s Dermatology SCE exam revision resource.

I am a General Practitioner with special interest in Dermatology. I have 8 years of experience in outpatient care, inpatient care, clinical research and hospital management.

After graduating from the University of Malawi College of Medicine with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree in 2012 and completing a rigorous 18 month internship, I worked for the Malawi Ministry of Health at a rural district health office (Mulanje District Hospital) where I was responsible for the clinical care of patients and managing administrative functions. I later joined the Malawi College of Medicine - Johns Hopkins University Project as a Medical Officer and Study Coordinator working on HIV prevention and AIDS clinical trials. I was later enrolled at Boston University School of Medicine, where I obtained a Graduate Degree in Dermatology.

I have immense passion for dermatology, clinical research, as well as medical education, which led me to start authoring for StudyPRN.

I qualified as a doctor in India in 1998 and undertook my Dermatology speciality training at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India and then in the United Kingdom in South Wales Dermatology Training Programme.

I am a member of the Royal College of Physicians, the British Association of Dermatologists, the British Society of Dermatological Surgery, and the British Medical Association.

I am interested in all aspects of Dermatology including the management of skin rashes such as acne, psoriasis, eczema and in diagnosis and surgical treatment of skin cancers.

I undertook my Medical degree at the University of Cambridge, where I also completed a Master’s degree in Natural Sciences (Pharmacology). I have completed my postgraduate general medical training in London and specialist dermatology training in South Wales, where I developed a special interest in skin cancer and skin surgery. Since 2017, I have worked as a Consultant at St George's Hospital, London.

I am a member of the British Association of Dermatology, the British Society of Dermatological Surgery, the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Society of Medicine.

After completing both my MBBS and Diploma in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology from Bangalore University, I went on to specialise in Dermatology and completed my MRCP Derm in 2015. I hold several memberships, including the British Medical Association, British Medical Laser Association and the European Association of Dermatology and Venereology.

In the past, I’ve worked as an Associate Specialist Dermatologist and locum Consultant Dermatologist, and am currently a Substantive Consultant Dermatologist for the Princess of Wales Hospital.

After completing my dermatology specialist training in Sheffield, I was successfully appointed to a Consultant Dermatologist post at Sheffield Teaching Hospital in 2020. I have an 80% clinical and 20% medical education job plan, and teach medical students from the University of Sheffield. I do a mixture of clinics, seeing inflammatory skin conditions and skin cancer work. I am currently on the British Association of Dermatologist’s Undergraduate workstream.

I used StudyPRN as a dermatology specialist trainee to prepare for my SCE examination. I found it more representative of the exam than any other source of practice questions and found it incredibly useful. I think an online question bank is more useful than books, because it is so responsive to new developments and themes which are likely to start appearing in the SCE examination.

I’m a Specialist Registrar in Dermatology at St John's institute of Dermatology. Currently, I’m in my final year of training and have recently completed a PhD in B cell Immunology. My main specialist interests are in medical dermatology and connective tissue disease.

Having studied medicine at Imperial College London, I undertook my postgraduate medical training at Imperial College NHS Trust, followed by specialist dermatology training at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust.

After completing my MBBS from St George’s, University of London, I attained my Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) UK and passed my MRCP Specialty Certificate Examination in Dermatology. In 2018, I was awarded my Fellowship of Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and in the following year, I achieved a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education (Merit) from King’s College London. At present, I’m undertaking a PhD in Genetics and Molecular Medicine at King’s College London.
