Introduction from Dr Chris Allen

Dr Chris Allen

Dear Cardiology Colleagues,

Welcome to the British Junior Cardiologists’ Association (BJCA) Horizons platform.

Our aim is to provide cardiology trainees with high-quality, curriculum-specific cardiology content in an accessible and enjoyable format.

For nearly two decades, the BJCA has been surveying the experiences and opinions of UK cardiology registrars in training. Many of same issues and specific areas of ‘unmet need’ recur annually. We aim to use the clear messages from this data to design content around your training needs.

The BJCA is run by trainees, for trainees. We provide a range of BJCA educational resources with content provided by the UK’s leading cardiology consultants and successful registrars detailing ‘what we wish we knew’ earlier in their training. We value your feedback to improve existing content and to identify new areas for future development. All content is in line with international cardiology guidelines, and broadly applicable, but our focus is rooted in UK training experience and clinical practice.

This project has been made possible through industry sponsorship, in the form of a sponsored meeting with no input from the sponsor on the agenda. As far as possible, our content will be provided free, or with a small, nominal charge.

With best wishes,

Dr Chris Allen
BJCA President 2022
