This week Clare Killingback, Reader in Physiotherapy in the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, joins us and discusses compassionate & person-centred practice pedagogy and pedagogic research, touching on team-based & flipped classroom learning and facilitation along the way.

Dr. Clare Killingback is a Reader in Physiotherapy at the University of Hull, where she leads innovative teaching and research focused on person-centred practice and rehabilitation. With over 20 years’ experience as a physiotherapist, educator, and researcher, Clare has worked internationally, including four years leading a non-governmental organisation in Iraq. She founded the BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy programme at Hull and has held senior academic leadership roles, including Programme Lead and Education Consultant for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. 

Clare’s research explores person-centred physiotherapy, community exercise adherence, and rehabilitation models, with publications in leading journals and presentations at national and international conferences. She supervises PhD and MSc students and is Associate Editor for Disability and Rehabilitation. Passionate about supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals, Clare combines evidence-based teaching with compassionate pedagogy to inspire students and colleagues alike. 

“I know in my module where the pinch points are, where students will struggle, and I have a choice where I can say “yeah, it’s hard, crack on, keep learning” or I can actually do something to mitigate that distress, as a really proactive element…”
