Our story
UK Vein Care - Part of Nordic Health Group
Nordic Health Group is a specialised Nordic healthcare provider who contributes to a higher quality of life amongst our patients. Nordic Health Group offers high quality medical and surgical healthcare services through its specialised clinics. We believe it is adamant to operate within specialised areas, where we can focus on the things we are best at. For us, this is what it means when we say that Nordic Health Group is "Improving quality of life through specialised healthcare".
Nordic Health Group was founded by Thomas Lawaetz in 2016. Having grown up in a family of doctors, surgeons and nurses, Thomas has always had a passion for healthcare and has witnessed first-hand how many patients do not get the proper care and patient experience. That is due to many reasons such as increased pressure on healthcare sectors, and a tendency towards a mindset which is not patient focused.
Thomas’ father is a vascular surgeon whose research has played an important role in introducing the minimally invasive treatment methods for varicose veins in Northern Europe. Thomas saw the potential for modern treatment methods and at the same time noted that around one third of the adult population is affected by varicose veins. From there, the vision was clear: make modern treatment methods available to the many people affected by varicose veins and increase their quality of life.
The first clinic opened in Copenhagen in 2016 under the Danish brand name Dansk Venecenter and since then Nordic Health Group has grown to become the largest and leading provider of varicose veins treatment in Northern Europe. Besides from Dansk Venecenter in Denmark, Åderbråcksklinikerna has opened in Sweden, Åreknuteklinikkene in Norway, Vaatzorgkliniek in the Netherlands and UK Vein Care in the United Kingdom.
The journey continues in existing and new markets and the mission remains the same: make modern, minimally invasive treatments available to the many people affected by varicose veins and increase their quality of life.
