The Duchess said, "I am delighted to announce that Dr Jenny A Dautlich is the 4th recipient of The Robin Tavistock Award. This award, named after Robin Tavistock, the 14th Duke of Bedford who founded the TTA, is presented annually to a person or group who has made a significant contribution in the field of aphasia. This year, for the first time, the award goes to someone who, like Robin, has overcome their own aphasia and gone on to help improve the lives of others."
