What we do

UK Vein Care is build upon three pillars that emphasise what we do

Highest quality in healthcare

We focus on healthcare where we have distinct advantages to deliver investigations and treatments of the highest quality. Based on science and constantly updated on the newest studies and developments, we offer all our patients the most gentle and effective treatment.

Customer & patient satisfaction

Customer and patient satisfaction is given mainly through good communication and trust. Therefore, we maintain a high level of efficient communication in simple and precise language that is easily understood. We balance expectations and never promise more than we can deliver.

Improving quality of life

We acknowledge our ethical responsibility to improve the quality of life for the highest number of citizens. Therefore we strive to keep prices at a level where the most people can benefit from them. We achieve this through eliminating unnecessary costs and extravagance that doesn’t provide value to patients.

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.
