	Professional body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A professional body or professional organization is an organisation, usually non-profit, that exists to further a particular profession, to protect both the public interest and the interests of professionals.
		Membership of a professional body does not necessarily mean that a person possesses qualifications in the subject area, nor that they are legally able to practice their profession - although in some countries and professions, membership of a professional body is required for somebody to legally practice.
		In countries where the legal system entitles defendants to a jury by their peers, the general public may not be considered sufficiently knowledgeable in a field of practice to act as a peer in some legal cases.

		There was unanimity of views amongst professional bodies that neither the government, nor the legislature consults professional bodies in the areas of their respective prowess when making national policy.
		However, the professional bodies felt that they had the capacity to interact with the policy-makers and influence policies at the level of the government as well as the legislature.
		Since there is no effective precedence of involvement of professional bodies in policy making as a standard practice, most professional bodies are not even aware whether they have a role to play in policy making and to gauge their own strengths in terms of it.

		Professional bodies in the UK are increasingly adopting formal continuing professional development schemes to encourage and in theory compel members to keep up-to-date and enhance their competence.
		Continuing (or continuous) professional development has been described as "the maintenance and enhancement of the knowledge, expertise and competence of professionals throughout their careers according to a plan formulated with regard to the need of the professional, the employer, the profession and society" (Madden and Mitchell 1993, p12).

	The future of UK Prof and Voc Qualifications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Traditionally professional bodies have played a major part in determining the education and training required for membership of their various fields of work.
		The professional bodies while accepting many aspects of the approach have their reservations as to the feasibility of extending the work place assessment of performance as a sole basis for the award of qualifications.
		The widened range of professional bodies remains a major force in determining and sustaining British qualifications world wide but these bodies do so against the background of a strong vocational emphasis on what they seek to develop among those who seek their qualifications.

		Even to the point that the program of professional reviews is, de facto, the review program for the uni (raising interesting questions about the programs where professional accreditation does not yet apply).
		So a counterpoint to your question is whether professional acreditation reviews are, in themselves, sufficiently comprehensive to relieve a uni from needing any other form of review (such as program re-accreditation or regular departmental reviews).
		I suspect the problem is that the professional accreditations are conducted at different levels of depth and rigour, depending on the profession.
