Abstract
This paper attempts to develop a general framework for the papers in this issue by examining the concepts of profession, professionalisation and professionalism. The historical developments and debates within these areas are illustrated and discussed. The paper continues with suggestions for how the concept of professionalism might need to be re-interpreted to include issues of current concern to all professions and professionals. It is argued that accountability and continuing professional development are both compatible with, as well as essential for, professionalism.Keywords
