Masters degrees by research are useful for many careers which include elements of research but which do not specifically require a PhD (e.g. in the commercial sector). These Masters degree programmes also offer the chance to experience what it would be like to study for a full PhD if you are unsure whether a PhD is right for you in the first instance. Perhaps most importantly, a Masters qualification may be useful for those who wish to study for a PhD but whose graduate qualifications are not appropriate.The Dental Public Health and Health Services research group focuses on research in- improving and protecting oral health in individuals and populations orientation, effectiveness and equity of oral health services, and oral health in the UK and overseas. The research group is a skilled and experienced multi-disciplinary team with expertise in quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Examples of the group’s work include the FiCTION randomised controlled trial in U.K. primary dental care which involved collaborators in most U.K. dental schools and was led by Professors Gail Douglas (Leeds), Janet Clarkson and Nicola Innes (Dundee) and Anne Maguire (Newcastle). This trial investigated the relative merits of three approaches to managing dentinal caries in the primary teeth of high caries risk children. This study, funded by NIHR is likely to influence future policy. Our group also works with Public Health England (PHE) on research and guidance to inform policy.
