JCR Common Room

The Collaborating Centre is based at St Catherine’s College, Oxford. As a mainly virtual centre it provides a hub for those with a shared interest in developing more effective ways of working with values in health and social care.

At the heart of the Centre are its Project Partners. It has a small Management Team that is supported by an Advisory Board.

Project Partners
The Centre brings together a wide range of both individual and organizational Project Partners working on values in different ways and across a variety of projects in health and social care. Project Partner entries can be searched using either free terms or the List of Key Words.
