NEAR ME

All GP practices and hospitals in Scotland have been asked to increase their use of remote consultations by phone or video.  

This will mean most people can receive the NHS care and advice they need from their own home to reduce the spread of COVID-19.  

Near Me video consulting offers additional clinical benefits including face-to-face consultations when needed.
