Negotiating access and undertaking video reflexive ethnography in a community-based palliative care setting

![CDATA[This paper presents a practical account of video reflexive ethnography (VRE) in a community-based palliative care service. VRE is a collaborative methodology comprising participant observation and other traditional ethnographic methods. It involves the negotiated filming of practice and/or participant accounts of care supplemented by reflexive viewing to co-analyse the footage (Iedema et al., 2013). It has been used in a range of hospital contexts including emergency departments (Iedema et al., 2012b), intensive care units (Carroll et al., 2008), and infection control (Hor et al., 2014). VRE is interventional in nature and encourages the co-construction of new meanings by challenging the assumptions of all parties including researchers, clinicians, patients, and carers (Collier and Wyer, 2015, Iedema et al., 2015).]]
