Near Me in social services: an introduction

Iriss.fm, Scotland's social services podcast

Near Me in Social Services is a project Iriss has been leading in partnership with the NHS Near Me team and the Scottish Government Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Programme over Autumn/Winter 2020/21. The project is producing new evidence around the priorities, enablers and challenges of using video consulting in social services.

Iriss has supported five services to participate in a rapid Quality Improvement (QI) cycle to start using Near Me; provided light touch improvement support to organisations that are setting up Near Me independently within their work, and has developed a Learning Network.

Louise Bowen, Project Lead at Iriss, provides an introduction to the project, including the aims and outcomes and what it has achieved to date.
