Professor Ann Ooms

About

As Professor of Higher Education Research at the Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education at 重口味SM, my research focuses on education, professional development, and well-being of Healthcare Professionals.

I am Joint Director for the Centre of Applied Health and Social Care Research (CAHSCR), Founding Lead of the Healthcare Educational Research and Evaluation research group (HERE) and Founding Lead of the Health & Social Care Workforce - Development and Education Research Group (HESCADE). I serve as Visiting Professor at Kristianstad University in Sweden and as Adjunct Professor at Tung Wah College in Hong Kong. I also serve as an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches.

I have a PhD in Educational Psychology (focus on research methods), from the University of Minnesota, USA. I have secured several research grants, have published over 50 articles in research journals and have presented my research at national and international conferences. I review research journals and research conferences (e.g., AERA, BERA, HKAECT).

I received awards for my research excellence, such as the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Outstanding PhD Dissertation award, the Research Excellence Award at the University of Minnesota, and the Kingston UniversityRecognition of Achievement Award.

As Director of Research for the School of Nursing at Kingston University(2016-2021), I developed and implemented a strategy to enhance the research culture, and increase research capacity, income and productivity. 

I have 20+ years of teaching experience, which includes blended-learning teaching, developing and leading modules, supervising postgraduate students, and mentorship, all for which I have received awards. To date I have successfully supervised 4 PhD students to completion.

I am also Public Governor at Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 

I have lived, studied and worked in Belgium, USA, and the UK and am fluent in English, Dutch, French.
