Hi Anna and Lindsay
I would be interested in contributing to this group although I am not using ethnography. My PhD is looking at recognition of excessive maternal blood loss / PPH, using an exploratory two phase sequential mixed methods design. I am approaching this from a pragmatic perspective, although the qualitative element will be informed by the principles of grounded theory.
However, I am interested in your experiences of using ethnography and also feel there may be opportunities to share ideas in relation to clinical decision making.
Best wishes
Angela

Hi Lindsay,
I would value being part of a virtual group. I can set up an adobe connect space for us to meet and chat/ share resources.
Who else would be interested?

I would be very interested in creating a virtual group with other PhD students who are also using this ethnography to share ideas. My topic area is 'midwifery decision making and perineal protection in the second stage of labour' looking at intervention measures/or not to protect the integrity of the perineum. I would be really interested in hearing about anyone else undertaking any research in this area, the topic appears to be a hot one that is getting hotter!
