She is passionate about public health and health promotion and is qualified in ‘Public Health Planning for Hearing Impairment’.

Advisory board member
Kevin is a chartered accountant who works in the field of forensic accountancy, specifically disputes. He has been inspired by the work of LTCH since he became aware of it several years ago and has since raised around £8,000 for them, first by competing in an Ironman triathlon and then by attempting to cycle from Land’s End to Cape Town (which was sadly derailed by covid in Tanzania). He joined as an advisory board member in 2020 and also hopes to raise more for the charity in future.
Paediatric Audiology Advisor
Pam became involved with the charity a few years ago advising the medical team about Paediatric Audiological Assessment. In March 2015 she took two weeks annual leave from her full time post as Community Paediatric Audiology Service Manager to go and work in Uganda. She worked as a Paediatric Audiologist carrying out assessments on children both in clinics and school settings. She also delivered training to local audiologists and health care workers. Her current project is writing a training programme to support the setting up of Newborn Hearing Screening. She also continues to support audiologists in Uganda to gain the skills and competencies necessary to carry out assessment and ongoing management of hearing impaired children.

Elhaam graduated from UCL with a BSc in Audiology and currently works as an adult audiologist in London and also has experience working as a paediatric audiologist.
