As the NHS approaches its birthday on 5 July, NHS Lothian Charity is sharing Caring for Carers, a staff wellbeing initiative designed to celebrate and support those who care for others, often in busy and demanding environments.

The transplant team at Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh have carried out the first kidney transplant in Scotland using a pioneering cold perfusion machine.

Last year, Giada took on the Mighty Stride at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk, walking 20 miles in support of NHS Lothian Charity, and for a cause that was deeply personal to her. 

A pioneering GP practice in Midlothian has launched its own dedicated clinical research facility, encouraging patient participation and other surgeries to follow its example.

It’s been a truly special festive season for our FACE fundraising group, filled with memorable moments, heartfelt generosity and festive cheer across the community.

Fadi Bacheet, owner of Bliss House Café, Meadowbank is spreading festive cheer this Christmas by pledging an entire day’s takings on 24 December to NHS Lothian Charity’s Secret Santa Appeal.

NHS Lothian Charity’s annual National ‘Elf Service Day proved to be a huge success, spreading festive cheer while raising lots of money to support patients, families, and staff across NHS Lothian.

Members of the Rotary Club of Whitburn have proudly raised £5,000 inspired by the personal experiences of the NHS by multiple club members and their families.

‘Remember A Life Loved’ is our new online in-memory platform, a space for you to honour the memory of a loved one in a way that’s meaningful to you.
