My friend Carole Pound, who has died aged 66 of ovarian cancer, was a speech and language therapist. She broke new ground as a champion for the inclusion in services and research of people with language loss (aphasia) after they had suffered a stroke, head injury or neurological illness.
After working in hospitals, in 1995 she moved into an academic role at the speech and language therapy department at City, University of London, where she led research but also continued to work clinically at the university’s aphasia clinic.
