Scholarship

Alongside its educational delivery obligations, NHS Lothian Medical Education Directorate (MED) is developing high quality, conceptually grounded, methodologically rigorous programs of study. Such scholarly work drives the practice of medicine forward by furthering understanding of what and how our learners learn, how learning influences all aspects of workplace-based practice, and how we can better shape education to meet the needs of our learners and modern healthcare systems. MED is becoming a thriving academic unit, producing scholarly output that is recognised worldwide and impactful within and beyond NHS Lothian.
