Dear Ellie and list members
My PhD work was an ethnographic study observing communication from the perspective of intrapartum informed consent to procedures. The methodology was similar to the approach that Mavis Kirkham used in her earlier PhD work into intrapartum communication.
Consequently a paper has been published in the International Journal of Childbirth and the whole thesis can be accessed electronically through the British Library with a copy also being available at the University of Nottingham Greenfield Medical library and the RCM library. Date of the thesis is 2005.
The details of the published paper are:
Marshall JE, Fraser DM, Baker PN (2011) An observational study to explore the power and effect of the Labour ward culture on consent to intrapartum procedures. International Journal of Childbirth, 1(2) pp 82-99.
All the best with your studies

Hi Ellie,
I did a postnatal ward ethnography (two units in the UK) for my PhD with Mavis Kirkham as supervisor. Key publications:
? Dykes F (2006) Breastfeeding in Hospital: Midwives, Mothers and the Production Line. London: Routledge.
? Dykes F (2005) A critical ethnographic study of encounters between midwives and breastfeeding women on postnatal wards in England Midwifery 21, 241-252.
? Dykes F (2005) ‘Supply’ and ‘Demand’: Breastfeeding as Labour. Social Science & Medicine 60, 2283-2293
More recently, Renee Flacking did her post doc with me which was a cross-cultural ethnographic study in NICUs in Sweden and England:
Flacking R, Dykes F (2013) ‘Being in a womb’ or ‘playing musical chairs’: the impact of place and space on infant feeding in NICUs. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth 13:179http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1471-2393-13-179.pdf(IF 2.83)
Also, I supervised Magda Sachs on her PhD:
Magda Sachs M (2005) ‘Following the Line’: An ethnographic study of the influence of routine baby weighing on breastfeeding women in England. UCLAN.
Another PhD student is Anna Byrom but I think she has introduced herself already.

Dear Ellie
Welcome to the list!
I used an ethnographic approach in my PhD, which looked at the emotion work of midwives in hospital and community settings, so my thesis might be interesting for you to read. It was entitled Emotion Work in Midwifery, University of Wales Swansea2002, and should be available via Swansea University Library.
Other midwifery /maternity ethnographies that spring to mind are those of Denis Walsh, Fiona Dykes, Juliet Rayment - and there is the classic ethnography by Mavis Kirkham of interactions between midwives and women on labour ward in the late 1970s/early 1980s. And there are certainly others .....
Good luck with your study - it sounds very interesting
Best wishes
Billie

Ellie,
My doctorate was a retrospective ethnography of my work as a childbirth educator. It's called The Childlbirth Educator as Ethnographer: A Feminist Retrospective Ethnography of a Professional Practice. It's in the University of Manchester library, and it was in the Centre for Women's Studies, Sociology.
I hope that helps.
All the best,

Hello
I have not used this forum before. I am Ellie Jenkins a midwife in Portsmouth currently studying towards a Doctorate in Clinical Practice at the University of Southampton.
My research is the information behaviour of midwives in the high risk labour ward. I have used the principles of ethnography for my data collection and methodology.
Does anyone have or know of a PhD or doctoral thesis which uses ethnography that I could refer to? Or even know of one in a university library that I could approach.
Lucia - I saw your email about your ethnographic research - could you contact me if you have some time?
Many thanks
