Dr Kelly Jones
Dr Kelly Jones’ PhD thesis ‘A prognostic model for priority public dental care’ was passed unanimously with no amendments by examiners in November 2012 and was awarded a Dean’s Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence.
Research from the thesis contributed to the implementation of the Relative Needs Index in all South Australian public dental clinics and has led to a shift in the delivery and type of care predominantly provided by the SA Dental Service as it was hypothesised. She will graduate in the April 2013 ceremony.
Congratulations Dr Jones!
