Under the Occupational Health & Safety at Work Act employers have a duty of care to their employees and employees have a duty to comply with procedures, policies or interventions which are put in place to safeguard their health, safety and well being.

We aim to use our experience and understanding of the NHS to help you with matters of health and well-being in your organisation. We do this by providing a wide range of services and advice at reasonable prices, helping you not only to meet Health & Safety Executive guidelines but to care for the health of your staff, thus improving attendance and performance.

NHS Lothian Occupational Health’s Headquarters is based at the Astley Ainslie Hospital but we have a presence on all the major NHS Lothian sites further information and directions can be found by clicking on the relevant site below:
