Clevenard to Honour Dr. Abbey Akinoshun for Pioneering Advocacy and Groundbreaking Contributions to Employment Rights and Healthcare Professionals’ Empowerment

• United Kingdom | 27–30 August 2026

Clevenard is proud to announce that Dr. Abbey Akinoshun, a trailblazing advocate, self-trained Employment and Regulatory Law Consultant, and champion of healthcare professionals’ rights in the United Kingdom, will be recognised at the Clevenard Global Authors’ Recognition 2026. With over 25 years of dedicated service, Dr. Abbey has defended nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals, empowering them to navigate workplace discrimination, regulatory challenges, and professional hurdles while inspiring systemic change through advocacy, education, and mentorship.

Dr. Abbey’s journey into advocacy is remarkable, rooted in personal experience and resilience. Arriving in the UK as an immigrant, he began working as a cleaner. Confronted with workplace discrimination early in his career, he successfully represented his own case without formal legal training. This pivotal experience sparked a lifelong commitment to justice, motivating him to establish VEASEM, a self-funded organisation offering free legal advice to ethnic minorities. He later founded Employment Rights Representation and Advisory Services (ERRAS), through which he has provided expert representation and guidance to countless healthcare professionals facing challenges in their careers, particularly at Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearings.

As CEO of ERRAS, Dr. Abbey has become a respected thought leader, combining practical expertise with a profound understanding of social and regulatory dynamics. He has guided hundreds of healthcare professionals through legal, ethical, and professional challenges, ensuring that individuals facing workplace discrimination, unjust referrals, or procedural complexities receive the support and advocacy they deserve. His unwavering dedication has earned him numerous accolades, including the Our Heroes Community Champion Award, the Nigerian Centenary Award UK, and the BEFFTA Special Award, recognising his service, leadership, and impact.

Dr. Abbey holds academic qualifications in Social Psychology from the University of Sofia and Mental Health Nursing from King’s College London, reflecting a unique blend of psychological insight and professional expertise. His approach combines compassion with rigorous advocacy, ensuring that individuals are not only defended legally but also supported holistically. Throughout his career, he has inspired both clients and colleagues to pursue justice, equity, and ethical standards in healthcare and workplace practice.

Honoured Works

Dr. Abbey’s three influential publications form the cornerstone of his nomination, exemplifying his dedication to empowering healthcare professionals and documenting a life committed to service.

SAVE YOUR NMC PIN: Avoiding Professional Pitfalls for Nurses, Midwives, and Nursing Associates is a practical guide designed to help healthcare professionals navigate the regulatory landscape safely. Drawing on over two decades of direct experience representing nurses, midwives, and nursing associates in the UK, Dr. Abbey presents real-life case studies, actionable strategies, and guidance to prevent mistakes that could lead to NMC referrals. The book addresses the anxieties and “what if” scenarios every healthcare professional faces, offering clear instructions on both avoiding pitfalls and responding effectively when challenges arise. Beyond technical advice, the book instills confidence, resilience, and professional foresight, making it an essential resource for anyone committed to safe, effective, and compliant practice.

THE UNEXPECTED: Living the Life I Never Planned is both a memoir and a testament to resilience. In this deeply personal work, Dr. Abbey recounts his journey from immigrant beginnings in the UK to becoming a self-taught Employment and Regulatory Law Consultant. The book highlights his extraordinary path, influenced by the heroic legacy of his father, Goodman Osuolale Akinoshun, whose own battles against injustice inspired Dr. Abbey to devote his life to standing up for others. Through compelling storytelling, he demonstrates that one’s background, formal qualifications, or early circumstances do not define the potential to create meaningful impact. The book provides insight into his philosophy of justice, compassion, and ethical responsibility, encouraging readers to embrace purpose, overcome adversity, and make a difference in their communities.

CELEBRATING A LIFE OF IMPACT: Birthday Testimonials for Dr. Abbey Akinoshun at 60 is a unique compilation of reflections from colleagues, clients, community leaders, and friends, marking Dr. Abbey’s 60th birthday while celebrating a lifetime of service. Through these testimonials, readers gain an intimate perspective on the transformative influence of his advocacy work, leadership, and mentorship. The collection goes beyond achievements, capturing the essence of a man who has fearlessly championed the rights of the underrepresented, uplifted communities, and inspired generations through his actions. It serves as both a tribute and a source of inspiration, illustrating the profound effect one individual can have in advancing justice, equity, and human dignity.

Together, these works showcase Dr. Abbey’s holistic approach—combining practical guidance, personal narrative, and community testimony—to foster empowerment, resilience, and systemic change. His publications and professional advocacy reinforce his position as a leading voice in employment rights, regulatory law, and healthcare professional support.
