CATO also supports nurses, midwives, AHPs, Pharmacists and Psychologists (NMAHPPPs) developing academic or research careers, from pre-doctoral to advanced fellows. It is also the training arm of the Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). The CATO team comprises a Director, Deputy Director and four CATO co-ordinators.

• Drive forward cross-organisational opportunities using influence, personal drive and excellent project management skills, working with a wide variety of stakeholders internal and external to the AHSC
• Broker and establish effective working relationships with staff across the AHSC including university research staff, educators, clinicians and senior managers in the NHS partner organisations.
