Implementing Near Me Video Consulting: A Leadership Perspective

This webinar is open to anyone working in health, social care or social work with an interest in Near Me.

We will be joined by Mark Burrell and Vicki Greig to discuss the leadership skills required to offer video consultations as part of the oral and maxillofacial surgery referral pathway in NHS Grampian.

You’ll hear about:

  • the challenges they faced
  • the opportunities they found
  • how they brought people with them along the way

Near Me is a video consulting service that enables people to attend appointments from home or wherever is convenient. The service is already widely used across NHS Scotland for health and care appointments and is now being rolled out more widely across other health and care organisations.

Mark is Service Clinical Director for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in NHS Grampian with a keen interest in how new patient pathways involving the use of digital can be taken forward and enhanced by teams.

Vicki is a Consultant in Oral Surgery in NHS Grampian and found herself tasked with building a new service during the pandemic, requiring the rapid transformation of traditional face-to-face patient pathways to ones using digital technology.

They worked together as part of the Digital Health and Care Leadership Programme to evaluate the implementation of these new pathways and review their integration into the long-term plan for their combined service.

The webinar takes place on Thursday 11 May from 12:30 – 13:30.
