North Coast residents are being asked to give feedback on NHS video consultations during the pandemic.

In Ayrshire and Arran, the number of people using the Near Me service each week rose from 12 to 592, with almost 17,000 virtual appointments per week across the country.

The Scottish Government is now looking for feedback on the system to find out how people think it can be improved for the future.

The Near Me service was first used in Scotland in 2018 in the Highlands, to allow for remote populations to receive medical support.

It has since been used in hospitals, GP surgeries and community services during the coronavirus pandemic when physical appointments have stopped.

Feedback can be given at www.nearme.scot/views until Friday July 24
