Anna Campbell

Professor Anna Campbell from the School of Applied Sciences at Edinburgh Napier University is a leading academic in exercise oncology and cancer rehabilitation. Her research focuses on integrating exercise into standard cancer care, developing clinical pathways for personalized interventions, and addressing barriers to physical activity participation across the cancer trajectory. She has spearheaded multiple randomized controlled trials assessing lifestyle interventions for breast, colorectal, and lung cancer survivors.

• Key Research Areas: Exercise oncology, cancer rehabilitation, physical health recovery, eHealth applications, public health implications
• Methodological Expertise: Randomized controlled trials, qualitative stakeholder analysis, pilot feasibility studies, mixed-methods process evaluations
• Clinical Collaborations: Works with cardiac rehabilitation teams, clinical exercise physiologists, and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals
• Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes international workforce development, remote exercise delivery models, and healthcare equity in cancer rehabilitation

Professor Campbell's research directly informs clinical practice guidelines, with published frameworks for exercise interventions during adjuvant cancer treatments. She actively contributes to policy development for exercise integration across the cancer care continuum, advocating for standardized competency frameworks and accessible rehabilitation services.
