Warm congratulations to CATCH Professor Pam Enderby who has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for her outstanding contributions to healthcare.

Professor Enderby, Emeritus Professor of Community Rehabilitation at the University of Sheffield, was awarded an OBE for her dedicated service to speech and language therapy.

President and Vice-Chancellor Sir Keith Burnett said: “To meet people whose lives have been transformed by Pam’s superb work on speech therapy is a reminder of just how great an influence a university can have on an individual and family who benefit from its scholarship. Pam has quite literally given people their voice.”
Pam began her career as a Speech and Language Therapist in 1970, gained her PhD in 1983 and was awarded a fellowship of the College of Speech Therapists.
