Dr James Denny

Hello! I'm Dr. James Denny, a Consultant Dermatologist currently practicing at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. Before landing here, I spent several years at the world-renowned St John's Institute of Dermatology in London—think of it as the Hogwarts of skin health!

I'm also the co-founder and CEO of skindoc, where we're making dermatology more accessible through virtual consultations. In fact, I designed and developed the largest NHS Teledermatology service in the UK. So if you've ever enjoyed the convenience of seeing a dermatologist from your couch, you might have me to thank!

My academic journey was quite the adventure. I simultaneously earned my Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) and a First Class Honours degree in Microbiology at the University of Leeds. Yes, that meant a lot of late-night studying and perhaps an unhealthy amount of coffee. I also hold Postgraduate Certifications in Medical Education and completed Lord Darzi's prestigious fellowship in Clinical Leadership with distinction. Along the way, I've been honoured with several awards, including those from The Royal Society of Medicine and Merits of Excellence in healthcare education.

I'm registered with the General Medical Council and the Royal College of Physicians, and I'm a proud member of the British Association of Dermatologists. But enough about the accolades—what really drives me is making your skin health journey as straightforward and stress-free as possible. No medical jargon, no unnecessary hurdles, just clear and friendly guidance tailored to you.

When I'm not in the clinic or innovating the next big thing in healthcare, you'll likely find me pushing my limits outdoors. I'm a keen endurance athlete and have completed an IronMan 140.6, the Athens Marathon, and the UK Three Peaks Challenge. I also love scuba diving and skiing, both to an advanced level—because who says doctors can't have a bit of adrenaline in their lives?

So, whether you're dealing with a pesky skin issue or just want a professional check-up, I'm here to help. Let's work together to get your skin glowing and your confidence soaring—all while keeping things relaxed and maybe even having a bit of fun along the way.
