The post holder will have responsibility for provision of groups, clinics, assessments and training and continuing development of the NHS Lothian Weight Management Service. It is an exciting opportunity, for a dietitian who has a keen interest and experience in weight management, diabetes and diabetes prevention to become a valued member of the wider multidisciplinary team.
