Dr. Róisín Hambly is a Consultant Dermatologist on the specialist register of the Irish Medical Council. She graduated with first-class honours from National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) in 2007 and completed specialist GP training with the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) before working as a GP in Dublin. During this time she developed a strong interest in dermatology, which led her to transition to dermatology training. She completed higher specialist training in dermatology through the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) and has worked as a Consultant Dermatologist in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda. Parallel to her dermatology training, she also earned a PhD in clinical and scientific dermatology research from University College Dublin (UCD), as part of the prestigious Irish Clinical Academic Training (ICAT) programme.
Dr. Hambly’s clinical interests include:
- Inflammatory skin conditions: acne, rosacea, eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)
- Skin cancer management
Dr. Hambly has consistently contributed to dermatology research throughout her career. Her PhD research, funded by the Wellcome Trust and Health Research Board, focused on exploring novel immunological pathways in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) — a debilitating skin condition — and identifying potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes. She has presented her work at both national and international conferences, where she was awarded a national dermatology research prize. She has published in leading dermatology journals, serves as an expert peer reviewer for several dermatology journals, and has worked as a sub-investigator in international clinical trials for hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis.
She is committed to enhancing dermatology education. She co-organised an award-winning dermatology webinar series for GPs through St Vincent’s University Hospital, tutored for Cardiff University’s Diploma in Practical Dermatology, and remains involved in teaching GPs and medical students.
Dr. Hambly is dedicated to providing patient-centred care while advancing research and education in dermatology.
