Welcome from Hannah Monaghan
The Medical Education Directorate (MED) aims to develop and translate the NHS Lothian clinical education strategy by fully integrating medical training and education into the demands of a clinical service
The MED consists of a network of leaders across the 5 main sites:
- Associate Directors (ADMEs)
- Undergraduate Leads
- Simulation Leads
There is also a team of dedicated ADME assistants led by the MED Service Manager (Marion Mackay) who can assist you in accessing additional information and support.

Our ADMEs are key to the quality assurance and governance of the teaching and training delivered on each site in NHS Lothian.
