Scotland Case study: Near Me video consultations during the Covid-19 pandemicBackground
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Near Me was a relatively small programme that mainly focused its services in rural and island areas in Scotland, helping people to access health services and reducing the need to travel long distances for medical appointments. In March 2020, Near Me was quickly scaled up to accelerate its use across Scotland as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Near Me is now being used in all of Scotland’s National Health Service (NHS) Board areas, both in primary and secondary care, and plans are in place to expand it to other services and settings, including housing associations, volunteers, care homes and social services.
