Hello everyone.

I am studying medicine in the UK. Before i studied medicine i worked 3 years as a pharmacist. There is a lot of repetition between the courses and i have a lot of free time on my hands. i am interested in research.
Do you think it would be feasible to do a phd. while finishing my medicine degree, perhaps on a part-time basis?

Secondly, would it be worthwhile studying a phd. (in terms of career progression), for someone who wants to work in a clinical/hospital environment?
