I have a broad range of research experience using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. My current research is education focussed and I am particularly interested in the preparedness for practice of dental graduates and the transition from undergraduate to independent practice.

I have extensive research experience and have worked on a broad range of research projects. I have coordinated a number of research projects, ranging from a York systematic review, to a 5-year cohort study on treating the primary dentition. I have experience in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. My current research is education focussed and this has led to a keen interest in the transition from UG training to practice.

I have recently been successful as a co-applicant on two pieces of work commissioned by the UK Committee of Postgraduate Dental Deans and Directors (COPDEND) to undertake an evaluation of both the 'pre-pilot' and 'pilot' of introducing a review of competency progression and 'satisfactory completion' process in Dental Foundation training in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Addysgu

I am a tutor on the ‘professionalism, law, ethics and communication skills’ programme in the School of Dentistry. I actively support the topic lead in the development of new teaching and assessment methods for ‘communication and professionalism’. I provide workshops and small group teaching for BDS years 1 and 2.

Bywgraffiad

My interest in research developed whilst studying for an MSc in Health Promotion and writing a thesis on binge drinking and associated risk taking behaviour of undergraduates.  After obtaining an MSc in 1997, I started as a Research Assistant at Cardiff University, School of Dentistry undertaking a York systematic review of routine dental restorations. Following this in 1998 I joined the department of Dental Public Health and worked on a 5-year cohort study investigating the effectiveness of treating the primary dentition and as well a number of other research projects.  In 2011 I commenced a research post in Dental Education Scholarship and innovation (DESi) to work primarily on a national study investigating Dental Foundation Trainers’ expectations of a dental graduate.
