Types of disciplinary measures

The table below lists the various types of disciplinary measure and indicates when they may be published in the BIG-register. The third column indicates how long the information remains available on the website. When a healthcare professional has had a measure imposed upon them, this will also be listed next to his registration in the BIG-register. See also the explanation about imposed measures.

NB: The measure and the publication of the measure will be incorporated in the BIG-register when the CIBG has made a decision and has handled the measure.
