ABSTRACT
This chapter describes advice for optimizing the outcomes from the reflexive process. It provides examples of some of the ways that video-reflexive sessions have been conducted to date. The chapter explores how Video-Reflexive Ethnography guiding principles – exnovation, collaboration, reflexivity and care – can inform the planning and conducting of video-reflexive sessions. It aims to the more practical aspects of organizing and facilitating reflexive meetings. The chapter explains the video reflexivity as ‘the practice of filming professionals at work and sharing with them the resulting footage with the aim of engendering discussion about their work’. It addresses the delicate dynamics of these exchanges. If the video-reflexive session is taking place in the context of a targeted research question, the session is likely to be framed with a focus on progress towards practical solutions or to gain insights regarding quite specific phenomena. Organizing structured video-reflexive sessions with clinicians can sometimes present challenges.
