NHS Grampian Near Me
NHS Near Me is a confidential and secure service which allows you to attend your pre-arranged appointment using a video call, rather than attending in person. You will see the same consultant or healthcare professional you would have seen in the clinic and you can use your own internet-enabled device (mobile phone, tablet, laptop, PC etc) to make the call.
We use Attend Anywhere as our video call provider. The video call is free (except any internet usage charges you may have), and uses around the same data allowance as a FaceTime or Skype call.
The service can be accessed using the Google Chrome or Safari browser on your Windows, Android or Apple device. You should test your equipment works before your appointment.
Video Demonstration
NHS Near Me is not suitable for all appointments, for example if you need examination, physical treatment or investigations. Ask your healthcare provider or receptionist if you are interested in attending your appointment by video call.
I have a Near Me video appointment booked. What do I do?
You should complete a test call prior to your appointment time to ensure your equipment and internet connection are suitable for the call.
A few minutes before your appointment time, make sure you are in a quiet, well lit room, and type in the URL address you were given with your appointment information, or select the appropriate clinic below, click 'Start Appointment' then 'Start Video Call'. You will be taken through a series of steps to ensure that your equipment is set up correctly. Once the steps have been completed, you will enter the private waiting room until your consultation begins.
