A small working group was set up in Wales to examine the extent to which nurses use research findings in their day to day clinical work. The group members acted as facilitators to their colleagues exploring with them the problems and issues affecting research utilisation in practice. A number of criteria are discussed which are necessary to encourage change and develop a critical approach to practice. Suggestions are also made for ways in which professional nursing may be developed within the overall context of future educational and management changes.
