Dr Shyamal Wahie

As a medical student, I studied at the prestigious St John Institute of Dermatology at St Thomas Hospital (London). This encouraged me to pursue a career in Dermatology. I graduated from Kings College London with Honours in Medicine, Surgery and Pathology. My further Dermatology training was undertaken at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and at University Hospital North Durham, where I now work as a Consultant Dermatologist. I was awarded an MD for my research into Lupus and have published extensively in several peer-reviewed journals including the British Medical Journal, American Journal of Medicine and British Journal of Dermatology. I have won 3 prizes from the British Association of Dermatologists for my presented work at national meetings. My work has also been presented internationally at both European and American Dermatology conferences.

I have been awarded research grants from Lupus UK and the British Skin Foundation and is Research Lead for Dermatology in County Durham and Tees Valley.
