Professions and Professionalism

Medicine, the law, education, accountancy – what does it mean to be professional in these contexts?

What are the key issues and debates, problems and solutions? Each profession has its own approach to key societal groups and challenges: children and families, disease and inequality. What does professionalism mean in the business context, and how does it compare with non-profit oriented professions? Think about regulation, safe-guards and control. And consider the responsibilities and ethical questions that all professions must inevitably confront.
