You can join the call from home or anywhere that works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer that can make video calls, and an internet connection. Near Me is safe and secure to use, and it has been approved by the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some libraries in Lothian have quiet, private rooms where people can use Near Me.
