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.

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.
