The next session of the Norms of Action & Belief in Practice (NABP) Network seminar will take place on Friday, 29 May 2026, 15:00–16:00, via Zoom.
Patient Responsibility for Challenging Behaviour: to the clinic and beyond
Patients with personality disorders or addictions sometimes behave in challenging or harmful ways. Different views of responsibility give rise to very different norms of when it is appropriate to hold people responsible.
Giving Uptake to the Metaphorical Meanings of Delusions: A Dialogue Between a Philosopher and a Psychiatrist
In this talk, we begin with the philosophical argument for attending to the metaphorical meanings of delusions in order to secure interpersonal connection, best understanding, and epistemic justice for those with delusional beliefs.
Co-Creation and Transformative Action
What counts as successful co-creation? This talk approaches the question by treating co-creation as joint transformative action rather than transformative experience
Co-Creation as a Values-Based-Practice: What are its norms of action and belief—and how do they relate?
This Norms of Action and Belief in Practice (NABP) Network Advanced Seminar will focus on co-creation as a distinctly values-based practice. Particular attention will be given to the dynamic between explicit guidance and differently situated perspectives, including experience-based and training-based expertise.
Co-Creation and Transformative Action
The first monthly seminar of the Norms of Action and Belief in Practice (NABP) Network will kick off on Friday, 27 March 2026, 15.00–16.00 GMT with a discussion on “Co-Creation and Transformative Action”.
NABP Network 2026 Meeting
The NABP Network is now planning its 2026 meeting, which will bring its two main initiatives into joint focus. A call for contributions will follow shortly.
Knowledge Co-Creation in Healthcare and The Values of Inquiry: Revisiting the Relationship between Norms of Action and Norms of Belief
Knowledge co-creation in healthcare raises important questions for theory and practice: How does knowledge co-creation differ from other collective projects aimed at knowledge? What counts as success in knowledge co-creation? Does it require joint ownership over the process and outcomes? Could that be achieved by diverse and even diffuse collectives? Should all participants agree on shared objectives, or could they contribute well when pursuing different agendas? What kinds of recognition and support should be offered to experts by experience and respectively, experts by training? How might the values of different participants inform their work together? Could they be at odds with the values that define knowledge co-creation as a distinct practice?
Norms of Action and Belief in Practice (NABP)
The underlying Programme aims to address the challenges widely experienced in translating research into practice, such as ignoring guidelines as irrelevant to practice or forsaking professional judgment for formal compliance. Our guiding hypothesis is that these challenges derive in part but importantly from unrecognised conflicts between the norms of belief (underpinning evidence-based clinical guidelines for optimising health outcomes) and the norms of action (underpinning the role of patient choice and professional judgment in shared clinical decision-making).
Identifying and Overcoming Epistemic Injustice in Health and Social Care
This event will launch a collaborative impact programme which seeks to expand on the research findings of a 4-year project on Epistemic Injustice, Reasons and Agency (2018-2022) in order to help develop effective and sustainable strategies for identifying and overcoming epistemic injustice in tandem with values-based practice.
The event brings together prospective partners interested to contribute to the Programme’s objectives.
