About the role
This is a senior clinical leadership interview for a sports physiotherapy service. The panel wants strong rehabilitation reasoning, defensible return-to-sport decisions and an ethical leader who can work with athletes, coaches, doctors and performance staff under competitive pressure.
How to prepare
- Select complex rehabilitation cases and practise explaining your assessment, progression criteria and changes in clinical reasoning.
- Review how you document readiness and communicate when an athlete has not met return-to-sport criteria.
- Prepare an example of resolving a clinical disagreement within a multidisciplinary performance team.
- Think through caseload allocation, clinical supervision, handovers and match or training coverage.
- Check the official professional body for current registration, practice and continuing development rules that apply to the role.
Common mistakes
- Giving a calendar-based return date without explaining clinical and performance criteria.
- Allowing the importance of a match to replace an independent welfare decision.
- Sharing more clinical detail with coaching staff than is necessary or agreed.
- Presenting one rehabilitation method as suitable for every athlete and sporting demand.
