Dr Amy Perkins
Medical Education
Education is central to my practice as a dermatologist. I believe in making dermatology engaging, evidence-based, and accessible, whether for undergraduate students, postgraduate trainees, or members of the wider public. My teaching spans formal university lectures, bedside tutorials, national examinations, mentorship, research supervision, and public health outreach.
Public Speaking
My teaching and public outreach span a wide range of audiences. I regularly deliver talks and workshops, both virtually and in person, for dermatology societies, corporate events, beauty industry professionals, and other professional and community groups. I have particular experience in providing workshops on dermatology and social media literacy.
Across my teaching, speaking, and educational resources, my aim is to make dermatology approachable, practical, and grounded in the latest evidence.
If you are interested in a talk, workshop, or educational collaboration, please get in touch.
Honorary Clinical Lecturer, University of Glasgow
As an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at the University of Glasgow, I have contributed to the undergraduate dermatology curriculum through lectures, small-group tutorials, bedside teaching, skills sessions, and examinations. My work now focuses primarily on supervising medical electives and Student Selected Components (SSCs), supporting students as they develop their knowledge and experience in dermatology.
I welcome medical elective applications from students at any university worldwide. There is no fee for undertaking an elective, but applicants are required to attend an interview before their placement is confirmed.
Postgraduate Mentorship & Educational Supervision
I mentor resident doctors, offering guidance on career development, portfolio building, and navigating dermatology training pathways.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate on research projects, particularly those aligned with my areas of interest. As a member of the Aspiring Leaders in Healthcare Network, I am committed to supporting the development of future clinical leaders. If you feel I could support your project, please get in touch via the contact form.
All opportunities are provided without charge but require an interview before confirmation.
Through my role with the Royal College of Physicians, I contribute to postgraduate medical education by serving as a question writer and sitting on the Board of Examiners. I help design, review, and quality-assure examination content, ensuring fairness, consistency, and the highest standards in postgraduate medical assessments across the UK and internationally.
