Abstract
This study describes how one trust addressed the issue of assessing and implementing evidence-based nursing and midwifery practice through the setting up of a Nursing/Midwifery Research and Practice Development (NMR&PD) Group, together with the introduction of evidence-based practice link nurses/midwives. Staffs' awareness of evidence-based practice (EBP) was established and from this an action plan was drawn up to assist with the implementation of EBP The project is in its infancy, although early feedback is encouraging. The authors are optimistic that by establishing a framework for nurses to review care in a professional and sound manner they will feel more confident and comfortable with the concept of EBR.
