NHS Scotland Near Me video appointment help
Bruntsfield says video consultations can only be offered using NHS Scotland Near Me. This official-style video is relevant because it explains how Near Me video calls work for patients. Use it only if the practice has actually arranged a video appointment for you.
Video-use note: this video is general Near Me guidance, not Bruntsfield-specific appointment booking. You still need Bruntsfield Medical Practice to arrange the video appointment first.
Before the call
Use a private, well-lit space and test your camera, microphone and internet connection.
Device needed
Use a smartphone, tablet or computer with camera and microphone.
Not for emergencies
Do not wait for a video call if symptoms are life-threatening. Use 999.

| Need | Best action | Helpful detail |
|---|---|---|

| Emergency short supply | Ask a local pharmacy if appropriate. | The practice notes pharmacies may provide a short supply for repeat medicines at their discretion. |

Common Bruntsfield patient mistakes to avoid
Calling late for same-day
Same-day appointments are limited. Call at 8am if you need an on-the-day slot.
Expecting email contact
The practice says email is not secure enough for confidential health information and does not offer a generic email address.
Using Near Me without booking
Near Me is only for arranged video appointments. Do not enter a video waiting room without being told to do so.
Missing boundary rules
Registration depends on living inside the practice area. If you move out, you may need a new GP.
Using GP line for emergency
Call 999 for life-threatening symptoms instead of waiting for practice contact.
Prescription panic
Order repeat medicines early and confirm collection point if it has changed.
