These will need to be held onto as we seek to develop a form of professionalism that transcends both traditional professionalism and the attacks on that tradition implicit in recent reforms. In this paper, therefore, I shall be interrogating these reforms with a view to establishing the possibilities for what author(and others) have termed ‘democratic professionalism’.
