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.
