1. This week PaRCH had a team session to reflect on the implementation and work of PaRCH over the past 6 months, thinking about what has worked well for the team and where they can make improvements to the service. PaRCH also farewelled the Fanau Ola team who alongside the Pacific ADHB team and were a huge support to PaRCH during the Omicron Surge. Malo!
