Adult Social Care Glossary, v 0.6

Rehabilitation coordinators are rehabilitation specialists, for example, allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, or clinicians who play an active role in the multidisciplinary team. They are usually responsible for decisions about rehabilitation treatment options at the beginning of the pathway and for the implementation of the pathway, including referral or transfer to other services. They are usually part of the team that delivers the rehabilitation care, and the lead contact for the person receiving care.
