Annie Hendry serves as a Research Officer at Bangor University's North Wales Medical School, focusing on primary care intervention studies with emphasis on end-of-life care, cancer detection, and care home health systems. Her research integrates mixed-methods approaches to evaluate complex healthcare interventions across community and clinical settings.
Her doctoral training centered on
- Smoking, lung cancer, and symptom presentation pathways in primary care
- Patient and smoker experiences in cancer diagnosis
- Barriers to timely healthcare engagement
Hendry's research portfolio demonstrates consistent thematic evolution toward process evaluation methodologies in complex healthcare interventions. Early work examined cancer diagnostic pathways (2015-2020), while recent publications (2022-2025) increasingly focus on care home innovation, end-of-life symptom management, and primary care system optimization. Her fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in process evaluation (94%), carer support systems (88%), and subcutaneous drug delivery (85%), with growing emphasis on neonatal care environments and prostate cancer diagnostics.
Key recognition includes:
- 2024 St David Award Finalist (shared with CARiAD study team)
Hendry's collaborative approach is evident in multi-institutional projects like the CARiAD feasibility RCT and ThinkCancer! intervention development. Her work consistently addresses implementation challenges in real-world healthcare settings, particularly focusing on workforce innovation (role substitution in care homes), patient-centered care models (home-based end-of-life care), and systemic barrier reduction (cancer detection pathways). Current projects examine neonatal unit environments and prostate cancer diagnostic journeys through multi-perspective methodologies.
Her research operates within Bangor University's health sciences ecosystem, leveraging partnerships between the North Wales Medical School and care home networks across Wales. Recent projects demonstrate strong alignment with NHS priorities in domiciliary care, cancer diagnosis, and oral health for vulnerable populations.
