Totally agree - not just medical software either. See replies to my other comment threads. Software engineers really don’t like the idea that they might have to show they can perform at a certain standard to be able to work as a software engineer.
Typically arguments come up:
“that’s gatekeeping” - yes, for good reason!
“Laws already exist” - yeah, and that’s not the same as professional accreditation, standards and codes of practice! Different thing, different purpose. Also the laws are a mishmash and not fit for purpose in most sectors.
