"It's not entirely unique to IR, but it's something that's encountered more because it is so fast-moving, and it's what kind of drew me into the specialty. But having done this project has given me a new perspective on the importance of good, quality research and engaging with it."—Hayley Briody, MB, BCh, MSC
