Minervation spun-out from Oxford University in 2002 because we recognised the opportunity to start a company to support organisations who share our vision for health information. Our belief is that health information should be:
• (ACCESSIBLE) Easily available where and when it's required
• (USABLE) Relevant to the needs of the user
• (RELIABLE) Based on the best quality evidence
We are passionate about working with organisations to implement web systems and processes that will improve patient care. We work with charities, public sector organisations, academic groups and commercial clients. We always adhere to the following principles:
• We conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity
• We believe in inclusive and open-minded working
• We are committed lifelong learners
• We strive to take a fresh and original approach to new and existing work
