• 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.
