Make sure its deep enough too. Shallow soil would dry out quickly.

I have a long raised bed about 9 inches high on concrete. It is well drained. I have grown broad beans, curly kale and tiny tomatoes in it very successfully but this year I have made half of it into a herb bed, with lots of added grit and the rest will be salad such as radish and lettuce.

Yes, but you will need plenty of drain holes at floor level so that the raised bed doesn't get waterlogged. And, of course, water run-off will wet the concrete base.
