List of professional associations in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 6 min
The following is a list of professional bodies in the United Kingdom. Membership of a professional body does not necessarily mean that a person possesses qualifications in the subject area, nor that they are legally able to practice their profession. Many of these bodies also act as learned societies for the academic disciplines underlying their professions. The UK government has a list of professional associations approved for tax purposes (this includes some non-UK based associations, which are not included here).[1] There is a separate list of regulators in the United Kingdom for bodies that are regulators rather than professional associations.
