Research Interests

Following the completion of a PhD in 2005 on the economics of oral health services, my research strategy is: a) to develop a niche area in dental health economics in order to inform oral health policy in Ireland and internationally, b) to get this research into practice through

dissemination,

and c) to integrate this research into my teaching.

I am currently one of the few health economists in the Republic of Ireland researching in the area of oral health.  Professor Ciaran O' Neill has carried out extensive research on oral health in Northern Ireland and we are current devising strategies to develop efficiencies based on best practices in both North and South. This strategy involves

As a Principal Investigator on a €306,000 HRB grant (2007-2011), I had two researchers employed on a project to develop an efficient oral health system in the Republic of Ireland that's based on international best practice where delivery is evidence based. One of the researchers is undertaking a PhD on this topic.
I am a co-investigator with Prof Finbarr Allen and Dr Denis O'Mahony Dept Oral Health and Development on a HRB grant of €229,576 Euro -

HRA_POR/2010/154 (2011-2013).

with co-investigators Martin Kenneally-Director Centre for Policy Studies, Prof Ivan Perry, Prof Patrick Bourke, Dr Michael Barry- Director Centre for Pharmacoeconomics I recieved €233,000 to investigate inefficiencies/efficiencies in Drug Prescribing. 

Further evidence of my commitment to health research is provided by my membership Health Services Research Institute (HSRI) established in 2007 (

) which

My impact on oral health policy has been recognized by the HRB when they included my research in their highlights for 2006

Teaching Interests

Teaching is the highest form of understanding ....Aristotle 

In June 2007, I received the Presidents award for Excellence in Teaching. In Sept 2007, I graduated witha Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning in UCC. During this course I learned the importance of integrating my research into teaching.  Now my oral health research forms the foundation for my teaching on the Masters in Dental Public Health. I have also undertaken research on teaching and learning and my design of learning outcomes was included in Writing and Using Learning Outcomes (Kennedy 2007). ISBN 978-0-9552229. In Dec 2010, I graduated with a Masters in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (MATLHE). My thesis titled 'Evaluation of Pre-Enrolment and Post-Enrolment Predictors of Academic Success' was awarded First Class Honours and 1st Place in the MA class of 2010.

I am the College of Business and Law nominee on the Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) Programme Approval Panel (PAP) for the approval for the MSc and HDip in Human Resource Management in  July 2012.

 Teaching is a dynamic endeavor that builds bridges between the teacher¿s understanding and the student¿s learning. Pedagogies must be carefully planned, continuously examined, and related to the subject taught.  The most important skill you can teach a student is how to learn and to cultivate in the student the seeds of lifelong learning.  Students should learn to think for themselves and to be flexible with knowledge.  Students must be stimulated to be active learners and encouraged to be critical, creative thinkers with the capacity to go on learning after their college days are over.  Whilst our short term goal is to educate students in terms of academic achievement it is even more important to facilitate their growth and development in terms of their contribution to society as researchers, teachers, economists or whatever their chosen field.
