Our Team

Meet the Experts Behind Wilmer Health

From visa medical certificates to sworn translations and apostilles, our doctors, Spanish sworn translators, and visa specialists handle everything together — with specialist experience in Spanish visa applications.

Wilmer Health brings together globally recognised GMC-registered doctors, accredited Spanish sworn translators, and visa document specialists who handle everything needed for official visa applications — all in one place, with a particular focus on Spanish visa applications.

All medical certificates are overseen by our Medical Director, Dr Andrew Smith, who is responsible for clinical quality and consistency across Wilmer Health. Every doctor on our team is fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and has extensive experience preparing medical documentation specifically for visa and immigration use. Each certificate includes the issuing doctor’s registration details, allowing credentials to be independently verified where required.

Our Spanish sworn translators are well known to consulates in the UK, the USA and worldwide, and regularly prepare Spanish sworn translations for visa and embassy use. They ensure all translations are clear, accurate, and presented in the format expected by the Spanish consulate. Alongside this, our legalisation specialists have extensive experience with notarisation and apostilles for Spanish visa documents, handling both standard and time-sensitive cases with care and precision.

Our team supports applicants based in the UK, the United States, and internationally, following the same structured, coordinated process for every case — whether issuing visa medical certificates for Spain or other countries worldwide.

Below, you can meet the doctors and professionals responsible for preparing and reviewing your documents, starting with our Medical Director and medical team.

This includes setting clinical standards, reviewing documentation formats, verifying and onboarding doctors, and carrying out ongoing quality checks. His clinical oversight applies to medical certificates issued for applicants based in the UK, the United States, and internationally, ensuring consistency across all certificates issued through Wilmer Health and alignment with current consulate requirements.

Our Standards

At Wilmer Health, ethical medical practice, accuracy, and transparency sit at the centre of everything we do. Every visa medical certificate is issued under clear internal standards and prepared in line with current consulate and embassy guidance.

All medical certification is provided under the supervision of our Medical Director, who is responsible for clinical quality, safety, and consistency across the service.

All doctors working with Wilmer Health hold active medical registration in their practising jurisdiction, including with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK. Each doctor is screened before joining the service, including checks for medical registration, appropriate credentials, enhanced DBS clearance, and background verification. Wilmer Health does not provide diagnosis or treatment, and medical certification is limited to documentation required for visa and consulate use.

Our sworn translators are officially registered and regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and our apostille and legalisation specialists are similarly vetted before working with Wilmer Health.

Our clinical standards and Code of Practice govern how we work, supported by regular training, audit, and review to ensure documentation remains accurate and up to date. Further information on how we handle personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.
