The way in which student nurses and midwives experience research in practice is described here through accounts from in‐depth interviews with 10 student midwives and nine student nurses while they were in the rostered service component of their pre‐registration diploma courses. Also reported here is an impressionistic model of their intellectual development in relation to research which has been created inductively from the same data and which offer a new line of inquiry on the research to practice problem. Although this research is primarily concerned with these particular students it is of general interest since there may be a level of intellectual development which is a necessary condition to being able to initiate and use research in practice.
