Abstract:
In this four-part editorial series, we have looked at the significance of research within cardiology training in the UK. The first three instalments explored the impact of research on a career in cardiology, identified the diverse research avenues, and provided guidance on navigating the application process. In the final part of this series, our focus shifts to post-higher degree opportunities within the field, and discuss the skills developed in research that can be applied to clinical practice.
