William Pooley was treated in London after being flown out of Sierra Leone.
He has made a full recovery and, having been discharged from hospital, said he is to travel back within "a few weeks".
The 29-year-old said he was "impatient" to return and that it was likely he was now immune to the deadly illness.
Mr Pooley had been working as a volunteer nurse in Sierra Leone, which is one of the worst affected countries, when he contracted the virus.
Around half of the 3,000 people infected in the current African outbreak, which started in Guinea, have died.
"I'm quite impatient to get back doing what I know needs to done," Mr Pooley told BBC News
"And I feel like I've left things undone, having left prematurely. And I know there's a lot of work to do out there, and we need to get out there and do it."
