Radcliffe Cardiology’s Journal, ICR3, Announces a New Partnership with the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS). 

Radcliffe Cardiology’s journal, Interventional Cardiology: Reviews, Research, Resources (ICR3), announces a new partnership with the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS). 

This partnership will further ICR3’s purpose to support the knowledge network in the cardiovascular community. Working together will have a huge impact on the understanding and treatment of interventional medicine by providing the cardiology community with free access to high-quality review articles, original research and other resources that will help physicians on the frontline make more informed decisions – while BCIS can both extend the reach of that insight and widen the pool of professionals who can inform future thinking and research.

On the agreement, Dr Peter O’Kane, Editor-in-Chief of ICR3 based at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, commented:

As a UK interventional cardiologist I am delighted that ICR3 is partnering with BCIS.

The strong tradition and exceptional quality of BCIS in shaping our national clinical standards, education and research programmes with membership across physicians and allied health professionals will provide the journal with an opportunity for wider readership and manuscript contribution.

This was already an exciting time for ICR3 as we have recently opened to accept original research article submissions. The association with BCIS will further enhance our commitment to providing outstanding educational resources and experience to the cardiology community across the globe.

BCIS President, Prof Nick Curzen, based at the Southampton University Hospital, UK added:

“I welcome the partnership between ICR3 and BCIS, which will facilitate an exciting and novel platform for dissemination of original research, state-of-the-art output and news.

“We welcome the journal’s ambition for the highest academic standards moving forward and this resonates with the needs of our members, especially the research activities. This partnership will offer a range of mutually beneficial opportunities.” 

ICR3 is open to new content from authors wishing to submit an article which can be done online https://www.editorialmanager.com/icr/default1.aspx

BCIS Focus Group For Training Culture

BCIS Focus Group For Training Culture

16th March 2022

Dear BCIS Members

I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new BCIS Focus Group on Training Culture in association with the British Junior Cardiologists Association.

It is clear that there are important issues regarding the culture of training, bullying, expectations as to the nature of interactions etc.

This Focus Group will allow for an in depth review of the issues leading to the current state of affairs, and then aim to provide suggestions to the Society about how these can be addressed and resolved.  Emphasis will be given to looking at these issues from the perspective of both trainees and trainers, so that our outcomes can represent both groups of stakeholders.

The Group will meet for the first time before ACI 2022 and at that meeting will nominate an independent Chair as well as setting out the terms of reference.

I hope that you will support this extremely important initiative: we want to encourage enthusiastic and committed training in a comfortable and understanding environment for all concerned.

With best wishes
