This paper reports on the application of a theory of professional expertise developed by Jan Fook et al (2000) in management and clinical practice in two Australian hospital social work settings. The theory was used to help differentiate between the skills and abilities expected of social workers at different levels of seniority; to inform staff selection; to inform the practice of staff supervision; and to contribute to continuing professional development. The authors conclude that Fook et al’s theory could have equal relevance for other allied health professions.
