The ARCH Portfolio
ARCH is a long term transformational collaboration that aims to improve the health, wealth and wellbeing of the South West Wales region.
We have an ambitious portfolio of regional work, delivered through 4 programmes of work as set out in the ARCH Portfolio Development Plan and underpinned by the Welsh Government publication ‘A Healthier Wales’,
We believe a joined up regional approach is the only way we will be able to deliver meaningful change to address service pressures, workforce fragility and to drive a vibrant life science economy.
