CATO Bitesize (Factsheets):

Over time the CATO Team is devising a series of short Factsheets providing information and guidance on common issues experienced by clinical PhD fellows before, during and after their clinical PhD programmes. The number of these will increase as we continue to build our CATO Bitesize library.

Survey of Clinical PhD fellows:

As part of the support package for Clinical PhD fellows, CATO distributes an annual survey to collect confidential feedback about the experiences of our Fellows across the AHSC partnership. The responses are analysed and used to inform the development of our support programme. The findings from the data form part of an action plan that CATO takes forward, working in collaboration with Faculty colleagues, Departmental Research Degree Managers,Research Training and Development teams and other partners in the Imperial College AHSC.
