Deep Dive – Near Me in GP Practices 2022
At the onset of covid-19 in March 2020, there was a rapid scale up of Near Me in general practice.
However, since May 2020, use of Near Me in general practice has declined significantly, despite a
dedicated programme of work within the Near Me programme.
While Near Me is available nationally, adoption is heavily influenced by the culture within individual
practices. To better understand the culture of GP practices with high Near Me use, a deep dive was
completed with three practices (pdf, 2022).
