Staff Training – Equality and Human Rights Education

All staff are encouraged to take time out to learn and reflect on ways they can make NHS Lothian a better place for the people who work here and the people who use our services.

The Equality and Human Rights Team deliver small group sessions to help you learn and reflect on the root causes of discrimination and inequalities and identify actions you and your team can take to make a difference.

You will receive an E-certificate and record of participation on your electronic employee record.
