We welcome hearing from anyone working in relevant areas. You may want to become a Project Partner or get involved in a Network or Group, to propose an Advanced Studies Seminar or other meeting, or to send us something for the News and Notes section (for example if you want to advertise a meeting).
Who can get involved?

Networks and Groups
The Collaborating Centre supports networks of individuals and groups with interests relevant to the Centre’s aims.
Networks are self-organising communities of interest that bring together stakeholders with diverse experiences and skills. VBP Collaborating Centre Network members include (but are not limited to) Centre Partners
If you would like to join a network or group please contact the relevant lead as listed on the Network page
If you want to start a network or group please Contact Us
R&D Collaborations
Values-based practice has developed to date through strongly collaborative projects – see for example the training manual Whose Values? A Workbook the research on models, and the practice guidance on the Three Keys to a Shared Approach in mental health.
This is why the Centre is a Collaborating Centre – its core aim is to facilitate further development of the field through new collaborations between partners with complementary areas of expertise and experience
R&D collaborations are partly through Networks and Groups but there are also free-standing programs (for example on values-based surgical care)
If you are interested in joining a Network or Group please see above. To join an existing collaboration or to propose a new area of work please Contact Us
Advanced Studies Seminars and other Meetings
We have funding to support one-day Advanced Studies Seminars for up to twenty-five people wanting to work together on any cutting edge area of values in health and social care
