Online Doctor Ireland – See an Irish GP by Video or Phone

What is an online doctor?

An online doctor (also called an online GP, virtual GP or telehealth doctor) is a fully qualified doctor who sees you by secure video or phone instead of in a surgery. You describe your symptoms, the doctor asks questions, gives advice and — where it is clinically appropriate — can provide a prescription, a sick certificate or a referral.

It works well for everyday health concerns that do not need a physical examination, and your doctor will tell you straight away if you need to be seen in person.

What can an online doctor help with?

General medical advice for common illnesses and health concerns
Sick certificates and medical certificates for work or college
Repeat prescriptions and new prescriptions sent to your pharmacy
Referral letters where clinically appropriate
Women’s and men’s health, contraception and sexual health advice
Ongoing advice and prescription support for long-term conditions

Who can use DrCall?

DrCall is available to patients in Ireland. It is not suitable for medical emergencies — in an emergency call 112 or 999. It is also not intended for children under 3, and doctors cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants. A face-to-face consultation may be needed if it is clinically necessary.

How much does an online doctor cost?

A DrCall consultation starts from €35. That one price covers your consultation, including a sick cert, repeat prescription or referral where your doctor considers it appropriate. Your card is only authorised when you book and is charged once a GP confirms your appointment.

Is it safe and confidential?

Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a surgery.
