The NIHR Imperial BRC training programme operates in partnership with our AHSC and the Clinical Academic Training Office (CATO). We have developed a comprehensive, high-quality training infrastructure across all stages of clinical academic training and aim to promote equity and equality for all. We are developing innovative new programmes to support capacity across healthcare professions, with a particular focus on Nurses, Midwives, Allied Health Professionals, healthcare scientists, psychologists and pharmacists (NMAHPPs).
