Background

Pauline Ford is Deputy Provost at The University of Queensland. She was previously Head, School of Dentistry, becoming the first woman to lead a School of Dentistry in the Australia New Zealand region. Pauline graduated from The University of Queensland in 1989 with BDSc (Hons) (University Medal). After nine years in general dental practice, she returned to UQ and undertook a PhD before joining the academic staff in 2005. She has since completed a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and a Masters in Public Health.

Fields of research

Dentistry

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Dental Studies, The University of Queensland
  • Bachelor, The University of Queensland
  • Doctor of Philosophy, The University of Queensland
  • Postgraduate Diploma in Education, The University of Queensland
  • Masters (Coursework) of Public Health, The University of Queensland

Research interests

  • Oral Health Equity

    Pauline’s research activities focus on oral health and its role in general health and wellbeing, with an interest in the social determinants of oral health. The majority of her research work is with groups who may have difficulty accessing appropriate oral health care, such as people with mental illness and the homeless community. Her research interests are the health behaviours associated with adverse oral and general health outcomes, such as tobacco use, poor diet and infrequent engagement with health care. This research area is by nature interdisciplinary and as such Pauline has an extensive network of collaborators in academia (dentistry, allied health, medicine, psychiatry, public health) and also in the health and community services sector. This enables research questions to be relevant and collaboratively designed and also ready translation of findings to practice.
