Dr. Dashwood completed his cardiology training at The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia, followed by a clinical fellowship in advanced heart failure and transplantation at the same institution. He furthered his specialisation through a clinical fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology at the Victorian Heart Hospital in Melbourne and is currently completing a PhD focused on stress induced arrhythmias in heart failure. 

He has authored several peer-reviewed papers in basic science and cardiology journals. Dedicated to education, Dr Dashwood previously served on the CSANZ Education Committee and co-founded the Association of Queensland Advanced Trainees in Cardiology (AQuATIC), a charitable organization supporting the education of future cardiologists.
