Focus on: Hannah,
Advanced Nurse
Practitioner and
Executive Director
I have been a part of Arch (and
helped to set the organisation
up!) since we started in 2017. Before that I worked
for Brighton Homeless Healthcare so I have been
around providing healthcare to people experiencing
homelessness in Brighton and Hove for 12 years. I
have always been interested in trying to provide the
very best care to people in the greatest need and feel
that Arch has this at the heart of all it does.
During my 12 years at Arch my role has grown and
developed, and I now enjoy working across most of
our services. I have clinics at the surgery and am the
clinical lead for our Step Down Beds service as well
as providing leadership to our nursing team across
the organisation. I am also really passionate about
bringing learning opportunities to the wider frontline
workers team and run online tutorials on a range of
relevant topics for hostel and support sta昀昀 across
the city. I am always excited for a new project or
challenge, and you will often 昀椀nd me out and about
trying to engage people in their health through
opportunistic 昀氀u vaccine delivery or some other new
initiative or idea.
Typically, my days are a morning or afternoon of
seeing patients at the surgery for all manner of things,
hearing their stories and working out where I can
help them. Then I will be at New Steine Mews hostel
to check in with all our patients in Step Down Beds,
planning and providing the care they need. My days
are busy and packed with wonderful people, both
patients and sta昀昀! No two days are the same but
every day my focus is always to give patients the best
care. I feel grateful to work in the team at Arch but
also with sector colleagues across other services in
the city, who are always striving to improve and make
things better for people experiencing homelessness.
