Whatever the future brings holds with regards advances in healthcare and technology, our most valuable resource will remain constant - our staff.

Without their expertise, enthusiasm and commitment to care, NHS Lothian could not provide the standard and quality of care patients require.

NHS Lothian is a major employer in the region with almost 28,000 staff. This includes 15,000 nursing and midwifery staff and around 2,700 medical staff.

All our clinical staff are fully supported by the invaluable contribution of our support staff.

Our team is committed to improving patient care and services for all. NHS Lothian is pledged to engage staff as key partners in service planning and modernisation. Our staff partnership framework is the cornerstone of this partnership.
