Personal Profile
Mr Nadim Noor is a highly skilled consultant surgeon based at Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes Vascular Centre. He specialises in vascular and endovascular procedures. He is an expert in treating conditions such as varicose veins, leg ulcers, diabetic foot and aortic repair. He currently practices at Bedford Hospital, Bridges Clinic, Luton and Dunstable Hospital, Cobham Clinic and The Manor Hospital. His other areas of expertise include lymphoedema and peripheral arterial disease (intermittent claudication).
Mr Noor graduated from King Edward Medical College, Lahore, Pakistan in 1986 and completed his fellowship at the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh in 1992. In 2000 he completed his PhD at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne after a period of academic research. He completed his higher surgical training within East Anglia and passed the intercollegiate exam for the Fellowship of Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Ed. Gen.) in 2006. He was awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training by PMETB and registered with the GMC as a specialist.
Mr Noor was appointed as a consultant vascular and general surgeon at Bedford Hospital in 2007 where he introduced endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) in 2008 and endovenous treatment for varicose veins (radiofrequency ablation), a year later. He now concentrates exclusively on vascular surgery with special interest in varicose veins, aneurysm repair and carotid endarterectomy for stroke. He was appointed the clinical lead for vascular surgery in 2010 and in this capacity, he set up the BLMK Vascular Network in collaboration with vascular surgeons at Milton Keynes. Mr Noor is interested in leading people and improving services. This led him to an MSc in Healthcare Leadership from the University of Birmingham in collaboration with NHS Leadership Academy. He set up the AAA Screening Program within Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes in 2013 and now leads it as its clinical director. He was appointed as the clinical director for the vascular services when Bedford and Luton Dunstable Hospitals merged to form a single organisation.
Mr Noor is a keen advocate of minimally invasive surgery, whenever possible. In the early years of his career, he was an expert in keyhole surgery for gallbladder and hernia repair. Now, as a purely vascular surgeon he provides endovascular interventions like radiofrequency ablation and percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair. Such techniques allow faster recovery, less discomfort, and smaller, less visible scars. As a vascular surgeon, Mr Noor provides a range of surgical and non-surgical treatments for the diseases of blood vessels (arteries, veins and lymphatics).
