Common questions

Can the register be slow to search?

Sometimes. If our check can't reach it, the report says so and shows you where to look yourself.

Is society membership required?

No. Membership is voluntary, so not being a member doesn't mean a surgeon isn't qualified.

I'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
