TL;DR
It is suggested that an increased emphasis on development of a motivation to professionalisation in undergraduates will facilitate their personal professional development as practitioners and ensure a sustained development of the profession of physiotherapy over future years.
Abstract
Summary This is the first of two papers which explore the relationship between the continuing professional development of individual physiotherapists and the development of physiotherapy as a profession. It questions how the education process can ensure that the professional purpose of physiotherapy will continue to be fulfilled in the context of the major changes in policies and practice of health care heralded by the National Health Service reforms. A clear distinction is made between concepts of professional socialisation, professionalisation and professionalism and the implications each holds for physiotherapy practice. It is suggested that an increased emphasis on development of a motivation to professionalisation in undergraduates will facilitate their personal professional development as practitioners and ensure a sustained development of the profession of physiotherapy over future years.
