Trainers Home

We value you as trainers. Without you, we wouldn't have the broad range of training schemes that exist in Lothian. We want to provide support to our trainers and this section contains resources and links that we hope help you to continue to provide the excellent training opportunities we have come to expect in Lothian.

The network is:

  • A forum through which you can connect with the MED team and we can signpost you to relevant opportunities
