What does it mean to be a professional

About this event

This event has now expired

Traditional professionalism has long been criticised for being elitist and incompatible with a more egalitarian approach to practice. This webinar presents a more acceptable approach in the form of authentic professionalism – that is, a more participative form of professionalism based on empowerment and partnership working, rather than on a ‘we know best’ mentality or culture that can create unnecessary distance and alienate people.

Neil Thompson has been arguing the case for the development of authentic professionalism for many years.
