Dr Christine Glendinning
Hello!
I’m Dr. Christine Glendinning, a General Practitioner with a passion for dermatology.
I graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 2009 and completed my junior doctor years at Craigavon Hospital, Royal Victoria Hospital, and Lagan Valley Hospital. I trained as a GP and became a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2018. Since then, my love for dermatology has deepened, becoming a true passion.
In recent years, I’ve further honed my dermatology skills by earning the Professional Diploma in Dermatology from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and the Certificate in Dermoscopy from Cardiff University.
As a mother of three, I understand the challenges of managing our own health and that of our families. I know firsthand the stress of caring for a child with an ongoing health condition. Having a child with eczema has provided me with valuable insight into the frustration of encouraging kids to apply creams consistently and the importance of having a straightforward care plan.
In my practice, I focus not only on the physical aspects of skin issues but also on how they can affect your confidence and emotional well-being. I recognize that stress can significantly impact skin health, which is why I believe in a holistic approach to care. One area particularly close to my heart is supporting women with skin conditions in sensitive areas, such as eczema, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and hidradenitis suppurativa. I understand the profound psychological impact these conditions can have, and I strive to provide both medical expertise and a compassionate, safe space for you to discuss your concerns. As a GP, I have a unique understanding of how your other medical conditions and medications can impact your skin—and vice versa.
My main areas of interest include children’s and women’s health dermatology, inflammatory rashes like psoriasis and eczema, and acne treatment. I also perform full skin checks and can assess any moles or spots you’re concerned about using dermoscopy. If you have a rash, mole, or any other skin concern, I’m here to help!
I am passionate about your skin health, which includes how you feel in your skin! I run an anti-wrinkle clinic in my practice and love discussing lifestyle and skincare tips to help you feel great in your skin.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my practice. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to better skin health.
Warm regards,
Dr. Christine Glendinning
