Applying for Near Me access
The form below is for NHS staff, Scottish public bodies and related organisations to request first or a new Waiting Area on the Near me platform. A Near Me Waiting Area is where you will join your callers (patients or public) for private and secure video calls. If this is your organisation’s first request for a Waiting Area, you should follow the prompts to request a new Organisational Unit.
This form is NOT for citizens or patients requiring a consultation.
If you are a patient or citizen looking for a new consultation or a link to an scheduled consultation, please contact those you wish to have the appointment with, for example, your GP surgery, hospital clinic or council office.
To request creation of a new Near Me Waiting Area or Organisational Unit, please complete this application form and choose the relevant options. If you have any difficulties completing it or have any questions, please contact us at vc.support@nhs.scot or call us on 01224 816666. Our help-desk is staffed 08:00 – 18:00, Monday – Friday.
