Our partners at ARCH (A Regional Collaboration for Health) have published their annual review, highlighting the work they are doing to improve the health of those living in South West Wales.

The review celebrates the achievements of partnerships working across Swansea Bay University Health Board, Hywel Dda University Health Board, and Swansea University.

Highlights include the work ARCH stakeholders and partners delivered over the year across their regional priority areas: NHS Service Transformation; Workforce, Education and Skills; Research, Enterprise and Innovation.

ARCH is a long-term transformational collaboration that aims to improve the health, wealth and wellbeing of the South West Wales region. They have an ambitious portfolio of regional work, delivered through programmes of work and projects that are set out in the ARCH Regional Priorities Plan and which is underpinned by the Welsh Government publication ‘A Healthier Wales’,

They utilise a joined-up regional approach to deliver meaningful change to address service pressures, to achieve workforce fragility and to drive a vibrant life science economy.
