As a result of my research into midwives' emotion work, I have become
interested in knowledge - whose knowledge is valued and why. Please can you
put the reference for Firlej and Hellens Knowledge Elicitation Process onto
the list, as I hav enot come across this work.
Many thanks

Dear Colleagues
I have been on the list for many months but not actually introduced
myself
I am Susan Burvill, I practice as an Independent midwife in South London
and at present I am doing an MSc at Surrey University in Advanced
Clinical Practice (Midwifery).
My particular interests surround the re-discovery and develpment of a
clear midwifery discourse which is distinctly separate from the
biomedical discourse now so ubiquitous in women's health and childbirth.
For my final MSc dissertation I am focussing on the midwifery diagnosis
of labour onset. In order to tease out and explore the 'midwifery
expertise' I will conduct serial indepth interviews with two experienced
midwives along the lines of Firlej and Hellens 'Knowledge Elicitation'
process.
Has anyone read or heard of this approach used to explore midwifery
knowledge? I have found none so far.
I would also be interested on any refs pertaining to labour onset
diagnosis, there appears surprisingly little in the data bases and
journals that I have reviewed.
I look forward to any leads
Thanks in advance
Susan
