Cardiology Specialist Training Post

Training occurs at Hammersmith Hospital (particularly procedural training) and Charing Cross and St Mary’s Hospitals (particularly acute and in-patient training, with several aspects (such as imaging) taught across all sites. Trainees achieving sufficient clinical progress will be eligible for 20% research time to develop a funding proposal towards a PhD, with guidance from one of our world-leading cardiologists (chosen by the trainee).
About the Role
This post is intended to attract candidates wishing to utilise the Portfolio Pathway (previously called CESR) to acquire specialist registration in Cardiology, which enables them to be geographically stable at a single world-class academic health sciences centre, while in parallel developing international-grade expertise in a subspeciality through a prestigious externally funded PhD and opportunities to exploit it further in dedicated postdoctoral research time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
