Dear all Apologies for joining the conversation late but I am also a PhD student and looking to use an ethnographic approach. 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! I look forward to further discussions.

Subject: Re: Midwifery Ethnographic Research Hi Ellie, We used an ethnographic approach in our research to explore the management of acute illness in both maternity and medicine - this included how staff interpret and respond to signs of clinical deterioration and the intended and unintended consequences of safety tools . We have published the following from the maternity data; Mackintosh,N. Watson,K. Rance,S. Sandall,J. (2013) online first, The value of a Modified Early Obstetric Warning System (MEOWS) in managing maternal complications in the peripartum period: an ethnographic study, BMJ Quality and Safety, 18/7/13 My PhD focused on 'rescue work' within medical settings but may still be of interest to you: Mackintosh, N. (2012). Enacting patient safety on the frontline: an ethnographic study of rescue work with acutely ill patients. King's College London: PhD thesis.
