Why bank holidays are the hardest time to get help

A three-day weekend can mean three days without an ordinary GP appointment. Pharmacies may have reduced hours, and out-of-hours services get busy. If your problem is not an emergency but you do not want to wait, an online doctor can give you a clear plan.

How it works on a bank holiday

  1. Check the live timesThe booking page shows what is available today, including bank holidays.
  2. Book and authorise your cardYou are only charged once a doctor confirms your appointment.
  3. Talk to your doctorYou speak by video or phone and agree the next step — advice, a prescription where appropriate, a certificate, or in-person care.

Things you can sort out

  • Advice for a worsening cold, flu or chest symptoms
  • A sick certificate if you will not be fit to return after the holiday
  • A repeat prescription before your supply runs out
  • Urinary, skin and allergy problems that have flared up

Emergencies

An online appointment is not for emergencies. Call 112 or 999 for anything life-threatening, and use the HSE urgent care finder if you are unsure where to go.
