Maree Todd MSP notes that Near Me has been groundbreaking in Caithness. Especially for patients that would normally have to travel a 6 hour round trip for a medical appointment.

A two minute clip provides a glimpse of our incredible staff, working-behind-the scenes 24-7, in our Flow Navigation Centre Plus (FNC Plus). vimeo.com/1040788764?share=c…
When patients access care through recommended routes their cases are often directed to FNC Plus.
