This form is for booking a VC bridge with the ability to dial in from an NHS Scotland VC unit or from any modern web browser on a PC, Mac, or mobile device. See here for more details.

To help you complete your form, if you’d like us to dial out to your NHS Scotland VC system, we’ve compiled directories for all the boards.

We do not book telephone-only conferences. We have a limited number of telephone lines and they need to be prioritised for ISDN connections or for those that have to phone into a video conference. Please contact your local Telecoms department for telephone conferencing.

If you want a permanent space to use for Patient Group Sessions please see our Near Me solution; we don’t need this form.

If you want to book a Microsoft Teams link for VC units, please see here and use the separate form listed.

To amend an existing booking please use the separate amendments form or simply reply to the original confirmation email.

Text with dotted underlines will display additional explanation when you hover over it.

Please note that we use the time in 24hr format.

THE BOOKING FORM

In an effort to streamline our video conferencing service for users. We have now made available an online booking form for bridges and amendments to bridges. This will negate the need to use word documents to book a bridge and make our service more user friendly. The forms can be found from the Book a Bridge drop down list on our website.
