Royal Edinburgh Hospital Patients Council

Charity registered in Scotland SC021800

Our roots go back to 1989 when the old Thomas Clouston Clinic was closed and patients were moved to the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. Patients decided they needed a stronger voice. They wanted to have their opinions heard. So they formed a Patients Council which eventually was properly constituted as the Royal Edinburgh Hospital Patients’ Council in 1993. We continue to strengthen the voice of patients and former patients through independent collective advocacy. We continue to build on the foundations established by patients over twenty years ago.

Based in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, the REH Patients Council (SCIO) strengthens the voices of people with lived experience (both patients and former patients) and aims to realise all of our human rights, by the means of independent collective advocacy.

An exciting opportunity has opened up within our small (but growing!) friendly and flexible team, for a Finance, Administration and Business Officer who will use their experience and knowledge of third sector financial, contractual, monitoring, reporting, recording and business planning needs to enable us to comply with all necessary financial, accounting and contract management requirements, in order to maintain and deliver on our core collective advocacy functions.

Applications are encouraged from all people with lived experience of using, or caring for people who use, mental health services. The REH Patients Council (SCIO) offices are fully accessible.
