Abstract

In this chapter, we describe our experiences of conducting comparative ethnographic research in a highly medicalised setting, the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Sweden and England. We start by presenting the rationale for conducting our cross-national ethnographic study, followed by briefly describing how the study was conducted. We then discuss key challenges throughout the planning, undertaking the research and the data analysis.
