Summary of latest meeting


You can view a summary from any of our recent meeting from our archive below

Please share your thoughts on the following topics with your Co-owners Council Reps. If you’d rather send ideas direct, you can message them via the form below:

Employee Owned Trust Day – Wednesday 19th June: We’re keen to hear your ideas. How should we celebrate and recognise this day? How can we mark the progress we’ve made over the last four years as an Employee-Owned Organisation?
Co-Owner Champions: The council has been interested in exploring the idea of Co-Owner Champions. These aren’t formal representatives or council members. Instead, champions would actively promote and strengthen our co-ownership culture.
Questions for discussion:
  • How do you see this working?
  • What would their role be?
  • How would co-owners become a champion?

Co-owner Council Discussions Feedback

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.
