Personal Profile

Personal Profile

Dr Wakelin is a Consultant Dermatologist. She works part-time in Private Practice and part-time at St Mary's Hospital and Imperial College Healthcare Trust, London where she runs the Skin Allergy Service. 

She carries out diagnostic patch testing and skin prick testing to find out if someone’s skin complaint is caused by a contact allergy i.e. an allergic reaction to a natural or chemical substance that comes into contact with the skin. The skin allergy testing service is not available at Bishops Wood and these tests will be carried out post consultation elsewhere. 

She sees patients aged 18 and over at Bishops Wood with all skin problems and carries out small surgical procedures. She does not operate on scalp cysts and does not carry our any cosmetic dermatology procedures (such as botox, filler, peels, or lasers). 

She has written textbooks on dermatology and is an invited speaker on medical dermatology and contact dermatitis at national meetings.
