I would like to continue the discussion of practice‐based research networks (PBRNs). I will provide more detail on what I mean by PBRNs and describe some of the features of existing networks. I will argue that research networks could be a valuable tool for family therapists. But, I also point out that the establishment of the mechanisms and culture necessary for PBRNs to function effectively takes considerable commitment from clinicians and their professional organisations. I will also remount my hobbyhorse and give a more specific account of my thoughts about the use of the internet to provide the necessary infrastructure for these networks.
