Biography

Lorna Macpherson is Professor of Dental Public Health and Deputy Head of the Dental School at the University of Glasgow. She is also an Honorary Consultant in Dental Public Health with Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health.

She qualified BDS from the University of Glasgow in 1982. After completing clinical posts in Glasgow and London, she undertook postgraduate studies at Glasgow Dental School, successfully gaining her PhD in 1989 based on in situ studies of the plaque microflora associated with early caries.

A post-doctoral fellowship took her to the University of Manitoba where, after two years, she was appointed an Assistant Professor. During this time she gained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

Lorna returned to the University of Glasgow in 1992 as a clinical lecturer and commenced specialist training in Dental Public Health, being awarded the MPH in 1994 and the certificate of completion of specialist training in 1997. She was appointed a Senior Lecturer in Dental Public Health Sciences in 1995 and Honorary Consultant in Dental Public Health, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde in 1997. She was promoted to a Personal Professorship in Dental Public Health in 2006.

Professor Macpherson has led the Community Oral Health Section of the Dental School since 2002 and was the Director of Research within the School from 2009 to 2018. Since 2006 she has been Co-Director of the Scottish Government’s national child oral health improvement programme (Childsmile) www.child-smile.org.uk.

In 2019 she was appointed a Commissioner on the Lancet Commission on Global Oral Health. The Commission aims to increase the profile of oral health among the wider global health community and influence oral health system and policy reform globally, with a particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries.

Lorna is a member of the UoA 3 panel of REF2021. She is also Patron of the UK’s National Oral Health Promotion Group.

Research interests

Professor Macpherson’s research focusses on approaches to improve population oral health and reduce dental health inequalities. She is involved in the development and evaluation of complex public health interventions, with a particular focus on child oral health. Her research includes clinical trials and natural experiments and utilises linkage of large national administrative datasets.

She played a major role in the development of the Scottish Oral Health Research Strategy and is a national steering group member of the Scottish Oral Health Research Collaboration. She is also a founding member of the International Centre for Oral Health Inequalities Research and Policy.

She is evaluation lead of the Scottish Government’s Childsmile programme and advises many overseas agencies and governments on the development and evaluation of similar initiatives.
