About us
Arch Health CIC exists to deliver excellent
healthcare for people who are experiencing homelessness in Brighton & Hove,
contribute to improving the quality of homeless healthcare in our locality and
influence the quality of homeless healthcare across the UK. Since 2017 we have
been delivering high quality specialist clinical care to people in housing
crisis with the service being rated outstanding in all 5 areas of a CQC
inspection in January 2019.
We are a SystmOne practice on an APMS contract. We perform well in
CQC, LCS and IIF, are embedded in the local primary care and voluntary sector
communities, and are an active member of a thriving PCN.
Our patients are largely people currently
experiencing homelessness. This includes people sleeping on the streets, living
in emergency or supported accommodation or sofa surfing. We also care for
people who have recently experienced homelessness as well as members of the
travelling communities. Many of our patients have a combination of physical,
mental or substance misuse conditions and thus require specialist primary care
and attention which we endeavour to provide with every interaction.
In addition to our specialist GP surgery, we
provide in-reach services to the University Hospital Sussex, outreach to the
community, and clinical cover for new projects such as specialist step-down
care. We are a committed and experienced team with a deep passion for improving
the health of the poorest fastest.
