NHS Lothian is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

Substance misuse services work in partnership with council and non-stat colleagues. In East Lothian, the Midlothian and East Lothian Alcohol Drug Partnership (MELDAP) comprises of MELD (Mid and East Lothian Drugs) and the NHS Addictions Service.

Although medical staff are operationally managed within the IJBs, professional lines and cross cover arrangements are maintained across Lothian. The East Lothian addictions consultant would be operationally accountable to the General Manager for Learning Disability, Mental Health and Addictions, but professionally managed by the CD (providing regular peer support and professional governance) within East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership. They would also be expected to contribute to the work of the Lothian Substance Misuse Service Quality Improvement Team
