Akin Oluwole

Mr Akin Oluwole is a Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon with his NHS practice at Nottingham University Hospitals, where he has worked since 2006. He specialises in the treatment of all vascular conditions, with a particular interest in minimally invasive keyhole techniques for varicose veins and aneurysm repair.

Akin qualified in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Lagos in 1989, before obtaining his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Glasgow) in 1997. He has since added a Masters in Health Law from Nottingham Trent University, reflecting his commitment to the broader context of clinical practice. He is a member of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the European Society of Vascular Surgery, and the British Society for Endovascular Therapy, among other professional bodies.

His clinical interests encompass varicose vein surgery — including VNUS closure, radiofrequency ablation and foam sclerotherapy — endovascular aneurysm repair, angioplasty, and the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Akin led the development of the complex endovascular aneurysm repair programme in Nottingham, and has been treating varicose veins for over 28 years.

A committed educator, Akin has been actively involved in vascular surgery training in the East Midlands and internationally since 2006, and currently serves as Training Programme Director for Vascular Surgery with Health Education England, East Midlands. He also organises annual vascular training workshops in Nottingham and volunteers with international medical charities, providing vascular services to developing countries and disaster zones.
