The Near Me service gives the people of Scotland the choice to attend health, care and other appointments via video call where appropriate. The pages in the Near Me section of this website provide information, guidance and help to start using Near Me. More guidance, including service provider guides, hints and tips is available on the National Virtual Consultation Service site. A separate website for members of the public is available at nearme.scot.
Please see the final report for the Near Me programme, as it moves to a business as usual service.
Near Me can support NHS Recovery by increasing efficiency and reducing cost. Please see the briefing note for clinicians and service managers.
What is Near Me?
Near Me is a video consulting service that uses the Attend Anywhere platform. This is a web-based system that helps public sector providers offer video call access to their services as part of business as usual operations.
