The following are key requirements of good professional practice: authority, integrity, trustworthiness, responsibility, confidentiality, informed consent, nonpaternalism, and high standards of work.
It must be remembered that a professional always serves the clients and promotes some goals that are important to them, such as health (doctors and nurses), justice (lawyers), personal autonomy (psychologists), and human development (teachers). In that special sense, all professional work focuses essentially on care.
