Selected answer:Trainee Assistant Practitioner
Explanation:
There's a very good chance P stands for Practitioner. T and A are less clear.
Trainee Assistant Practitioner is the most likely answer. However, there is a non-negligible chance that T may stand for 'Therapy' or 'Theatre', and A could potentially stand for 'Associate', so it's far from an absolute certainty.

If your document is from the UK sphere, then it becomes more likely that it does in fact stand for Trainee Assistant Practitioner.

I'm really not sure about this, but I thought I would start it off and see what comes of it. Please correct me if a better definition comes up.
