profile
Dr Veronique Bataille sees adults and children with all types of dermatological conditions. She specialises in skin cancers, melanoma, familial melanoma and family cancer syndromes and has researched extensively in skin cancers.
Dr Bataille trained at the Louvain Medical School in Brussels and graduated with Magnum Cum Laude. She started her dermatology training at St John's Institute of Dermatology Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust London. Dr Bataille then moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London and The Royal London Hospital as a Clinical Research Fellow where she completed her PhD on the genetic epidemiology of skin and eye melanoma.
She spent considerable time at Sydney Melanoma unit in Australia, one of the busiest in the world, and then moved to St George's Hospital London where she spent two years as a Senior Registrar again working in the pigmented lesions and melanoma clinic.
Veronique became a Consultant Dermatologist in 1996, when she was appointed Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Dermatologist at Barts and The London School of Medicine, where she continued her interest in the genetics of melanoma and other skin cancers. Dr Bataille now practises at West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust, where she provides specialised care for patients with melanoma, and privately at The Medical Chambers Kensington.
Dr Bataille has published in many national and international journals and regularly writes reviews and book chapters on skin cancer and other aspects of dermatology. She is currently Assistant Editor of the Clinical and Experimental Dermatology Journal and European Journal of Skin Cancer. She was also appointed Consultant and Advisor to L'Oreal Paris.
You can learn more about Dr Bataille on her personal website and read her blog posts on our website. She commented on an article on the genetic risk for skin cancer published by the BBC and has published, in collaboration with others, on the role of the gut microbiota in responses to immunotherapy in melanoma. She is also a co-author on European guidelines published by European Association of Dermato-Oncology on melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

Dr Bataille is a top consultant with a huge amount of experience, meaning that she has likely seen a vast number of skin conditions and how they manifest. On this occasion, I went to her for a 2nd opinion, primarily as she is well known for her melanoma expertise but also because I consulted her in the past. As always, she is very thorough and quick, so it is a great way to put one's mind at rest. And she is also fun to talk to, which helps!
