Dr. Virginia Hill

I am Dr Virginia Hill and I was Consultant Dermatologist and Lead for Paediatric Dermatology for the Royal Free London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust until 2017. I studied medicine at Guys Hospital in London and trained as a General Practitioner, gaining a number of qualifications during my time in Practice.

I completed my dermatology training in London and Surrey, then spent a year as post-CCST Specialist Registrar in Paediatric Dermatology at Great Ormond Street Hospital. I was subsequently appointed as a Consultant in Paediatric Dermatology at Birmingham Children’s Hospital in 2003. I was appointed to my post at the Barnet and Chase Farm (now the Royal Free) in 2007 and was Clinical Lead for Dermatology for two years.

I have built up the NHS Paediatric Dermatology services over a wide area of North London and Hertfordshire during my time in post. I am one of the few dermatologists to gain an MSc in Allergy from Imperial College, London, which I completed in 2012. This included a thesis on Childhood Atopic Eczema. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and have over 50 publications. I regularly teach visiting doctors, medical students, GP’s, hospital doctors and nurses in clinics, and supervise dermatology trainees.
