Memorial Funds
Richard Baetke receiving the 2011 Olav Gjelsvik Memorial Award from Bobath Tutors Debbie Strang and Julie Vaughan-Graham
Pam Mulholland
Pam Mulholland joined BBTA after her qualification as a Basic Bobath tutor in 2000. Pam was a dedicated and very hard working member of BBTA and she naturally progressed to becoming an Advanced course tutor in 2006, teaching courses both nationally and internationally.
Pam was a gifted clinician, a natural leader and mentor to all her co-tutors in BBTA. She took an increasing responsibility in the demanding role of training instructor candidates within both BBTA and IBITA. Pam was the ultimate professional who loved her work and was passionate about maintaining standards and improving service needs for neurologically impaired adults.
This hugely respected therapist dedicated her life to the teaching of therapists in the Bobath Concept. BBTA have therefore set up a memorial fund in Pam's name. This fund will award a free place on a Basic Bobath Course annually to a successful applicant Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist.
