Transformation

Successful change depends on people understanding why it is needed, what it means for them and how they can help shape it. Good communication builds understanding and trust, encourages participation and creates a shared sense of ownership.

As we strengthen our day-to-day operations and prepare for change across BrisDoc, we want to agree clear, shared principles for how we communicate. Your experiences as co-owners can help shape this approach.

Think about a change or improvement project you’ve experienced. What worked well in the communication, and what could have been better?

Consider what helped you understand the change, feel involved and have your say.

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.
