Professional ethics encompass the personal, organizational and corporate standards of behaviour expected of professionals.[1]

Professionals, and those working in acknowledged professions, exercise specialist knowledge and skill. How the use of this knowledge should be governed when providing a service to the public can be considered a moral issue and is termed professional ethics.[2]

Professionals are capable of making judgements, applying their skills and reaching informed decisions in situations that the general public cannot, because they have not received the relevant training.[3] One of the earliest examples of professional ethics is probably the Hippocratic oath to which medical doctors still adhere to this day.
