What is St John's Institute of Dermatology?

St John's Institute of Dermatology is one of the world's leading centres for patients with skin disease. It opened in 1863. Formerly a post graduate teaching hospital, St John’s is now fully integrated into Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and the King's and St Thomas’ School of Medicine (GKT) of King's College London.

We:

  • treat a wide range of skin diseases from common ones to rare and very severe conditions requiring treatments not available elsewhere in the UK.
  • are an internationally recognised centre of research into skin diseases.
  • are a postgraduate training centre in dermatology for other health professionals, including dermatologists from all over the world.
