A vision for homeless
healthcare in Brighton & Hove
Over the last year Arch has undertaken
signi昀椀cant leadership roles with
the Integrated Care Team (ICT) for
Homelessness and Multiple Compound
Needs in Brighton & Hove.
Through the ICT we are supporting
signi昀椀cant transformation in the way that
care is delivered to our patients. Through
improved coordination across healthcare,
social care, and the voluntary sector,
we aim to integrate care pathways that
address health, social care and housing
needs. We are working with partners
to create a future where healthcare for
people experiencing homelessness and
multiple compound needs is integrated
across disciplines and easily understood
by those who need to access our services.
Aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan,
we are committed to working with
partners to shift care from hospital to
the community, progress from analogue
to digital solutions, and move from
treatment to prevention. These transitions
are crucial in addressing the deep-rooted
health inequalities faced by people
experiencing homelessness and multiple
compound needs.
The ongoing closure of NHS England and
reduction in the size of Integrated Care
Boards (ICBs) presents an opportunity
to reimagine care delivery. We aim to
shift from a system that responds to
crisis to one that prevents it - prioritising
community-based, preventative
healthcare over hospital-based treatment.
