Prior to his current role Marc was an Occupational Therapist and AHP Practice Education Lead in Shetland where he used the Near Me video consultation platform clinically to provide services to children & families. As the COVID 19 pandemic took hold he supported staff and patients in their use of Near Me to facilitate the continuity of services in a remote island community. Marc was then part of a team who created digital resources and ran webinars to enable wider NMAHP services across Scotland to use Near Me at pace and scale. Marc was then seconded into the Near Me Team within the Scottish Government as the National Lead to further scale up and embed Near Me within all areas of Health, Social Care and the 3rd sector.
