Delivering healthcare and support in Midlothian
The Midlothian Integration Joint Board plans and directs some health and social care services for the people of Midlothian to help you live well and get support when you need it - from care homes to care at home, primary care to telecare, voluntary organisations to vaccinations.
We are a planning and decision-making body created by Midlothian Council and NHS Lothian. We work in partnership with many voluntary and independent providers.
Our vision is that everyone in Midlothian leads longer and healthier lives. We aim to provide the right care, in the right place and at the right time to support people to do this.
Share You Views on our Strategic Plan
Every 3 years we must write a Strategic Plan to set out how we will plan and direct these services. We have written a first draft of this plan and are asking you to share your views on it. Please read our plan and have your say to help shape the final version.
