To inform, not persuade

To make good decisions, we all need good evidence which is clearly communicated. At the Winton Centre we have been working with institutions and individuals to improve the way that important evidence is presented to all of us.

The Winton Centre has been a fixed-term project and closed at the end of December 2022. We have always worked closely with other institutions to ensure that all our projects have a long-term future.

In 2023, some of the team have continued to work to deliver and hand-over the projects we have worked on with the NHS. The last of these will finish in December 2023. We will also be awarding the last of the Harding Prizes for trustworthy communication (entries open until 30th January 2024).

You can find resources and more about our work using the menu bar on this page, but we have also produced a series of leaflets outlining many of our major projects which you can download here:
