Arch Health CIC is a Community Interest Company, set up by clinicians and professionals of Brighton & Hove in February 2016 to address the health needs of vulnerable and homeless people in the city. In November 2016 it was announced that Arch had won the contract to run the Morley Street Surgery and the homeless health engagement service for Brighton & Hove for the next 3 years after taking over the contract from The Practice Group on February 1st 2017. The new service includes in-reach services to Royal Sussex County and Mill view hospitals plus an engagement service offering non-clinical support to patients. Our vision also includes developing expertise within a wide range of organisations and heath services across the city to ensure the best health outcomes for patients. We will be working with Justlife Foundation who currently provide the Pathway Plus homeless hospital discharge service for Brighton & Hove and we anticipate developing far reaching partnerships through which will make a deep and lasting impact on those who we serve in the city. Arch stands for: ACCESSIBLE, RESTORATIVE, COMMUNITY, HEALTH Dr Chris Sargeant (Director) says: “Arch Health CIC was founded because we believe that no-one should be denied the highest standards of healthcare, whatever their circumstances. Those who make up the Arch Board have first hand experience as clinicians and managers in providing services for homeless people and those from other marginalised groups such as gypsies and travellers, vulnerable asylum seekers and sex workers. We are determined to provide everyone from these groups a standard of care at least as good as that expected by the general population, and to make the care accessible, restorative, and compassionate.“ We look forward to taking the service forward with the help of partners Inclusion Healthcare, who received an ‘outstanding’ CQC status for their homeless surgery in Leicester. At Arch we want to improve the health of the poorest fastest.
