Checking a plastic surgeon in Malta
In Malta, a plastic surgeon should hold a listing under PLASTIC SURGERY in the Specialist Accreditation Register. Here's where to check it and what to look for.
The register must be checked by hand; we check societies and hospitals. Last checked 18 October 2026What the titles mean in Malta
Medical Council Malta keeps the Medical Register and the Specialist Accreditation Register, updated by the end of each month.
Malta's government sites often block automated access. When they do, the register must be checked by hand.
What we check for Maltese surgeons
Society membership is voluntary. Not being a member doesn't mean a surgeon isn't qualified.
How to check it yourself
- Use the Medical Council's health professional search with the surname and specialisation 'PLASTIC SURGERY'. Medical Council Malta search
- Or open the Specialist Accreditation Register and find the 'PLASTIC SURGERY' list.
- Check the surgeon's name and registration number appear.
Common questions
How current are the lists?
The Medical Council says the registers are updated by the end of each month.
Source: Medical Council MaltaIs temporary registration the same as full registration?
No. It lasts one year, applies only in government health services under supervision, and the Council says it isn't equivalent to full registration.
Source: Medical Council MaltaI'm considering surgery abroad. What should I check?
The same principle applies everywhere: find the official register in that country and look for specialist registration in plastic surgery. See every country we cover
