Anne Marie Coll is Associate Professor in Nursing and Health. A Registered General Nurse, Anne Marie came to the University in 1996 as a PhD student to investigate the experience of patients undergoing day surgery. This study has been the cornerstone for publications on pain as well as nurses’ assessment and management of it.

Her other research interests include oral health in children with several qualitative research studies evaluating the impact of the Designed to Smile programme from the perspectives of teachers and parents.

More recently, she has been involved in the oral health needs of another vulnerable group - People Seeking Sanctuary in South Wales. She has undertaken a qualitative research study focusing on the perceptions of case workers with regard to the oral health needs of people seeking sanctuary across three third sector organisations in South Wales. This exploratory work resulted in two large grant applications to HCRW with collaborations established with University of Swansea, Cardiff and Bangor. She is now in communication with the Big Lottery funding organisation and is planning to submit a medium 'People and Places' grant application.  

Her teaching is predominantly in research methods at post-graduate level.
