Unless otherwise specified, this website and the services described herein are operated by OHNS Service SL and are subject to applicable laws of the Principality of Andorra.

2. Clinical Headquarters & Management

OHNS Service SL maintains its central management and coordination functions within the Principality of Andorra.

This location serves as the administrative and clinical coordination hub where:

  • treatment planning and clinical coordination are organised
  • secure medical data oversight is performed
  • corporate, financial, and administrative decision-making is conducted

All activities are carried out in accordance with applicable professional and regulatory standards.

3. International Clinical Model

ANDSURGEONS operates an international visiting consultant model, collaborating with established healthcare institutions.

Spain and Andorra

Medical and surgical procedures, as well as specialised diagnostics, are performed within independent third-party hospitals and healthcare institutions.

These institutions:

  • operate as independent healthcare providers
  • contract directly with patients for the provision of medical services
  • retain responsibility for clinical care delivery and local regulatory compliance

OHNS Service SL provides specialist expertise and professional services within this framework under independent contractual arrangements.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, clinical services are delivered under clinical privileges, insourcing arrangements, or visiting practitioner agreements, depending on the context.

These engagements are:

  • project-based or temporary in nature
  • conducted through independent contractual frameworks
  • separate from the international patient coordination activities described above

4. Professional Registration

Our surgeons maintain active specialist registrations with relevant regulatory authorities, including:

  • Andorra: Registro de Profesionales Sanitarios
  • Spain: Colegio Oficial de Médicos (relevant regional bodies)
  • United Kingdom: General Medical Council (GMC) Specialist Register

5. Data Residency & Information Governance

The Practice operates a distributed data model designed to ensure compliance with local legal requirements while maintaining high standards of data protection.

Clinical Records

Clinical data generated through consultations and procedures performed within third-party hospitals is maintained by those institutions in accordance with applicable local laws (e.g. Spanish Law 41/2002).

Central Practice Data

Data arising from:

  • digital consultations

Secure Infrastructure

The Practice utilises privacy-focused communication systems, including:

Switzerland is recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection under applicable European and Andorran standards.

6. Communication Disclaimer

WhatsApp (Administrative Use Only)

Patients are advised:

  • not to transmit clinical or sensitive medical information via this channel

  • associated entities, including ANDSURGEONS LIMITED (Isle of Man), may support patient acquisition, marketing, and supervisory functions

Each party operates within its own legal, regulatory, and contractual framework.
