Knowledge Co-Creation in Healthcare and The Values of Inquiry: Revisiting the Relationship between Norms of Action and Norms of Belief

24 September 2025, 9.30am-4.00pm, St Catherine’s College, Oxford and online

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?

Forming a Practical Wisdom Network

9th April, 09:30 - 16:00

Aristotle’s Phronesis (also known as Practical Wisdom) has both an individual and collective power which, recent research suggests, may help us to discern some forward pathways for the development of values-based, collaborative professionalism. This seminar is an opportunity for shared exploration of Practical Wisdom and how it might help us to navigate more wisely through the challenging tides experienced within the health, social care and education professions today. The purpose is to chart a way forward by strengthening opportunities for development of collegial Practical Wisdom in the professions through a collaborative network of professional practitioners, leaders and educators. The session aims to identify wise practical actions to create and shape this new network. Co-facilitated by Dr Sabena Jameel (University of Birmingham), Dr Jane Gaukroger (Cultivating Wisdom) and Dr Julia Flutter (Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge/The Chartered College of Teaching) the seminar will draw on different perspectives on Practical Wisdom and professionalism as points of embarkation on a collective journey. Attendees are cordially invited to contribute their own reflections and tales from practice to set the direction for the journey ahead.

Artificial intelligence and therapeutic relationships in healthcare

January 24, 2024

Can artificial intelligence enhance compassionate, person-centred, values-based care? Or will it damage autonomy, trust and therapeutic alliances?

Can ‘carebots’ actually care? Are chatbots ‘better’ at empathic communication?

Can AI in healthcare be aligned with human values such as compassion, justice and wisdom?

What are the views of healthcare professionals and patients?

 

The broad aim of this symposium is to bring together academics and clinicians from a variety of disciplines to explore these and other questions and arrive at an enriched perspective with potential pathways for sustaining relational, compassionate care in the context of this rapidly evolving ‘disruptive’ technology.
