“…'The preponderance of misconduct occurs because many authors are not informed on ethics, as these issues have generally not been addressed in medical undergraduate or postgraduate education.' [50] The truth of this statement is undermined by the absence of any advanced ethical framework required to understand that dishonest research activity is unethical, let alone its incommensurability with the role of a doctor. In the words of the influential British medical ethicist Thomas Percival:…”

While there has been much discussion of how the scientific establishment's culture can engender research misconduct and scientific irreproducibility, this has been discussed much less frequently with respect to the medical profession. Here the authors posit that a lack of self-criticism, an encouragement of novel scientific research generated by the recruitment policies of the UK Royal Training Colleges along with insufficient training in the sciences are core reasons as to why research misconduct and dishonesty prevail within the medical community. Furthermore, the UK General Medical Council's own data demonstrates a historic inattentiveness to the ease with which doctors can engage in research misconduct. Suggestions are made as to how these issues can be investigated and alternative incentives for career advancement are adumbrated.

“…We know, however, from the numerous newspaper reports and articles in the professional literature, that the existence of codes of conduct and ethics do not stop unethical behaviour from occurring in practice settings (Castledine, 2002;Fenton & Jones, 2002), just as the existence of law and the justice system does not preclude people from offending. Within this frame of reference, codes of ethics exist primarily for the discipline to guard against the exceptions to the norm, and act as a measure of overt control.…”

Finally I had to accept the fact that he was my Doctor. Goddamn professionalism gets in the way all the time. (Juska, 2003, p. 82) Just as the diversity of knowledge constructions has been captured in the phrase "many ways of knowing" (Hartman, 1990), there are many ways of relating. This article is a call to consider alternative expressions of "professionalism" that, while remaining moral, may not fall within the commonly accepted boundaries of ethical codes of conduct for social work practice. During the course of working on these ideas I have attempted to unravel some of the complexities that exist within the worker-client relationship and question certain long-held assumptions about what ethical practice might look like. The Current Context of Delivering Welfare ServicesBeing a "helper" of some kind is not as simple as it may at first seem. We carry out our work in a globalized economy that privileges neoliberal market values and strident individualism (Ife, 1997), where models of best practice and excellence are particularly nurtured and favoured (Milner, 2004a). The legal implications of making a mistake or admitting fault or failing in this climate are significant with widespread media attention subsequently being given over to issues of professional misconduct and quality assurance (The Scotsman, 2004; The Southland Times, 2004). As a result, social workers are increasingly pressured to work within the confines of narrowly rou-ETHICS

“…In a recent editorial, Hegyvary (2005) described the concepts of redundant and duplicate publications. While Fenton & Jones (2002) refer to the importance of integrity in the publishing of medical research. Tandon & Roberts‐Thompson (2002, p. 816) share some interesting thoughts and ideas on how to better manage what they term the ‘grey zone’.…”
