BrisDoc Co-Owners Council

Your Co-owners’ Council representative will have emailed you or led a team discussion about the topics below. We’d value your input before we meet.

1. New SevernSide IUC (Integrated Urgent Care) car fleet: what level of vehicle livery and light bars do we need?

2. Supporting colleagues experiencing financial difficulties: We are exploring setting up a small food bank at our main sites. Provide staple items for everyone (e.g. bread and butter). Maintain a shared community fridge. Offer food bank vouchers.

Please share your views using the form below. Your feedback will help us represent your experience in our discussions and will be reported to the BrisDoc Board via our Employee Directors.

Your voice in BrisDoc decisions

We want your views and experiences to shape how BrisDoc is run. With over 600 co-owners, it isn’t feasible to ask everyone about every decision. That’s why we set up the Co-owners’ Council.

What the Council is

• Around 20 colleagues who represent defined staff groups.

• Each member speaks for a specific team and brings your feedback into formal decision-making.

Example: there’s a dedicated representative for Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) Drivers. They attend all Council meetings, advocate for their team, and ensure the Drivers’ perspective is considered at the highest level.

Employee Directors

• Two elected Employee Directors chair the Council.

• They gather opinions and feedback from Council representatives and take these to BrisDoc’s Board of Directors (the Board).

• In the Board setting, they advocate for you and all co-owners, influencing decisions in the best interests of our workforce.

How information flows

• Your views move from teams → Council → Board.

• Updates come back from the Board → Council → teams.

• Where appropriate, you’ll also receive updates directly from the Board.

Why this matters

This creates a clear two-way conversation between co-owners and our leadership. Your voice is heard, your expertise is valued, and decisions are stronger because they’re informed by people doing the work.

In short: the Co-owners’ Council turns co-ownership into everyday practice. Together we make smarter, fairer decisions for patients, colleagues and communities.
