Why employers use an online GP service
- Employees can be seen the same day instead of waiting days for a surgery slot
- Appointments outside working hours mean less time lost from the working day
- A sick certificate is issued where clinically appropriate, as a PDF the employee can send to HR
- No contract or membership: employees simply pay per consultation

What you can expect — and what you cannot
A doctor will only issue a certificate when it is clinically appropriate after the consultation. We cannot guarantee a certificate, and we do not discuss an employee’s health with their employer: confidentiality applies exactly as it does in any GP surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Will you share an employee’s health information with us?
No. Medical confidentiality applies. An employee shares only what they choose, such as the certificate.
Can an employer pay for consultations?
Please email info@drcall.ie to discuss how this could work for your business.
Is the certificate valid for HR and payroll?
It is a medical certificate from an Irish-registered doctor, dated and signed. Your own policy decides what you accept.
