About Khushboo Sinha
Dr Khushboo Sinha is a Consultant Dermatologist at the prestigious St John’s Institute of Dermatology, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, where she leads the South East London Tertiary Specialist Melanoma Service. Her career in cancer care began at two of the UK’s leading cancer centres, The Royal Marsden and The Christie in Manchester, where she worked in haemato-oncology and melanoma before undertaking a dedicated post-CCT fellowship in skin cancer at St John’s. Alongside her clinical practice, she is Course Director and Honorary Senior Lecturer for the Clinical Dermatology MSc at King’s College London, contributes to skin cancer research and clinical trials, and serves as Honorary Secretary of the British Society for Skin Care in the Immunocompromised. Together, these roles reflect her commitment to clinical excellence, advancing specialist knowledge and improving outcomes for patients with skin cancer.
A graduate of Imperial College London, Dr Sinha achieved multiple distinctions during her medical degree and First-Class Honours in her intercalated BSc in Healthcare Management and Health Economics at Imperial College Business School, providing a strong academic foundation that continues to underpin her clinical, research and educational work.
Her practice encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and lifelong surveillance of skin cancer, guided by a commitment to continuity of care, sun protection and skin preservation. Her specialist interests include complex melanoma, inherited and high-risk skin cancer predisposition, and skin cancer in immunocompromised patients, including organ transplant recipients. She also provides supportive dermato-oncology care for patients experiencing skin-related immune toxicities from cancer immunotherapy, working closely with oncology teams to manage complications and support ongoing treatment.
At Welbeck, Dr Sinha offers complete skin cancer care, combining specialist expertise with a personalised approach and continuity throughout the patient journey.
