A professional association consists of a group of people with a similar educational background or profession who have joined forces to organise certain matters collectively. Professional associations represent the interests of their members and take on a variety of responsibilities. For example, they may assess the quality of training programmes, maintain contact with health insurers and help raise awareness and recognition for a profession. They may also organise information events and meetings for their members. In addition, most professional associations have a complaints officer and a disputes committee that members can make use of.
