The NHS Lothian’s Research and Development Conference 2025 was held on Thursday 22 May 2025 at the John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh.

The theme of this year's conference was ‘The Evolving Landscape of Clinical Research in NHS Lothian’.

The day featured a range of presentations and discussions with over 10 inspiring and influential speakers.

We enjoyed an exciting conference programme  showcasing the value and future of R&D in Scotland, the value of working with industry, some Lothian-led clinical research projects and a number of oral presentations following abstract submissions.

You can now see some of the posters and presentations from our speakers.

‘I’d like to express my gratitude to all invited speakers for their outstanding presentations and for the wonderful time we shared discussing our passion for clinical research. We hope to see you all at our next conference”

Professor Alasdair Gray, NHS Lothian R&D Director
