Should you become unwell, as an alternative to visiting your local GP Practice, it may be appropriate to simply hold the appointment over the telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to reduce the potential spread of infection, all GP Practices in NHS Lothian now also have a virtual clinic option, where patients may be able to be seen by their local GP Practice on a simple video link. NHS Near Me is a new video consulting service which provides virtual consultations enabling you to attend your appointment by video link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with any other appointment, you must first contact your local GP Practice who will arrange for an appointment to be booked in the normal manner. This may be telephone, virtual or face to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to establish which option is most appropriate, simply phone your local Practice<\/a> and they will book the most appropriate appointment for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a Near Me virtual appointment is the most appropriate for you and this has been booked, click on the Near Me symbol below to take you to the list of GP Practice waiting rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n General Information about using NHS Near Me is available at www.nearme.scot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNHS Near Me virtual appointment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
