NHS Grampian Near Me Service Expands to Help Those with a Hearing Impairment

That the Parliament celebrates the expansion of NHS Grampian’s "NHS Near Me" service to include audiology department patients; commends this state-of-the-art secure video appointment service that allows patients to see and speak to clinicians from the comfort of their own home; believes that more than 900 people in the north east could benefit from the option of a virtual hearing aid fitting; notes that new equipment will be posted directly to each patient along with detailed supporting information; understands that a video consultation will follow soon after to discuss all aspects of hearing aid use and maintenance, and welcomes this innovative service at a time when staying safe at home has never been more important.
