Welcome to the Kent and Medway Medical School Clinical Academic Training Office (CATO).
CATO launched in 2024 with our first award from the NIHR to recruit Academic Clinical Fellows: the first in Kent. Our aim is to become a regional hub for high-quality research and knowledge exchange, with CATO the bridge between the communities across our region, service providers within the local NHS Trusts and social care, and the academics and researchers at our partner Universities.
