ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the collaborative effort of introducing the method of video reflexivity on a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the Netherlands. It describes the constitution of the core elements of the collaborative framework involved that is the content and the key players. The chapter presents the context in collaboration with the neonatology ward originated. It reflects on this collaborative project, in which collaboration can be found on every level and in multiple forms, especially as object of reflection and analysis. This proviso is an integral part of standard ethics approvals, and it was particularly important to emphasise its relevance given the NICU context, with its demanding and complex work routines. The processes described above demonstrate the entanglement of health care practices, research practices and collaborative practice. After some time the socio-geographical space in which the method was used expanded beyond the walls of the neonatology ward.
