Academic Background
Dr Verdolini qualified from the University of Ancona (Italy) in 1993 with Honours. He was awarded the University’s prize for one of the top 3 dissertations (subsequently published in the “Journal of Pathology”, an international medical journal). Early medical posts were in General Pathology, where he gained a deep insight into histopathology and skin cancer research.
Specialist training in Dermatology was completed in 1999 qualifying with Honours. Again, his final dissertation gained publication rights, appearing in the “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”. A further period of training ensued at the Royal London Hospital (2000 - 2001). From 2003 to 2004 he attended the Dermatopathology department at St John’s Institute of Dermatology, Guy’s and St Thomas’. In 2008 he completed the European Masters of Dermato-surgery (University of Siena-Italy).
His first UK Consultant appointment was with the Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust (PAH), Harlow, Essex in 2002. He was then appointed Substantive Consultant Dermatologist at Newham University Hospital, London, in 2003. From 2004 until 2020 he also practiced at the London Dermatology Centre, one of the most popular clinics in the Harley Street area.
In October 2007 he re-joined the Barts and the London Hospital NHS Trust, where he took on responsibility for skin cancer and dermatological surgery. In 2010 he returned to the Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust, as Lead Clinician in Dermatology (a position he still holds today). Under his direction, the department expanded, to deliver a modern dermatology service. The results of a survey carried out by UCL, in 2017, deemed the Dermatology Department at PAH to be the most efficient and best led among all the Hospital Trusts North of the Thames.
