In line with the British Association of Dermatologists, in the NHS the term dermatologist, or consultant dermatologist, refers to medically qualified doctors who have obtained a higher qualification in general medicine. They have passed examinations to become a member of the Royal College of Physicians and they have then gone on to train specifically in dermatology. After four years of full-time training in a registered and supervised NHS dermatology post, and after completing successfully the Dermatology Specialty Examination, a doctor can be listed by the General Medical Council (GMC) as a specialist in dermatology. Almost all consultant dermatologists have appointments at NHS hospitals and they should not be appointed to an NHS hospital without being an accredited specialist on the GMC register. To confirm if a doctor is an accredited specialist on the GMC register, you can search for their record using their name or GMC reference number. This register is available online via the GMC website (https://www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/our-registers). If someone is calling themselves a skin specialist or dermatological expert, it does not mean they are appropriately qualified, so it is always best to check.
