Abstract

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. A national survey (questionnaire) on Cardiology trainees undertaken on behalf of the author by the British Junior Cardiologists Association (BJCA) on training opportunities, needs, attitudes and perceived barriers that exist within "current training" in cardiac devices suggests lack of opportunity for hands on training and poor attitude to training resulting in a perceived lack of competence. The conflict between service commitment and training was a recurring theme.

Keywords: Cardiac devices; Trainee perspective; cardiac devices training; “Current training”.
