Abstract
Although there is knowledge of the substantial benefits of collaborative approaches to stroke rehabilitation, information on alternative management strategies is sparse. This paper describes an exploratory survey, undertaken in the north-west of England, to highlight features of the stroke co-ordinator role. The role is explored in terms of rehabilitation management and service development. Some strategies to support practitioners in the role, and areas for role development, are suggested.
