Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Douglas cost?
A DrCall online consultation starts from €35. That covers your consultation, including a sick cert, repeat prescription or referral where clinically appropriate. Your card is only authorised when you book and is charged once a GP confirms your appointment.
Is an “online Dr” a real doctor?
Yes. Every DrCall consultation is carried out by a doctor registered with the Irish Medical Council, following the same professional standards as a surgery visit.
Can an online Dr in Douglas send me a prescription?
Where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate, yes — it is sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose. Some medicines cannot be prescribed online, such as benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants.
Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?
Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.
How long does an online GP consultation take?
A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you properly.
What if I need a doctor in person in Douglas tonight?
DrCall is an online service, so we cannot send a doctor to your door. For urgent in-person care when surgeries are closed in Co. Cork, contact SouthDoc on 0818 355 999 — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. You can also find your nearest out-of-hours GP or emergency department on the HSE website. In an emergency call 112 or 999. If your concern suits a video or phone consultation, you can book DrCall any day.
Can children see the online doctor?
DrCall is not intended for children under 3. For older children, a parent or guardian should make the booking and be with them during the consultation.
Can I claim an online GP visit on my health insurance?
Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.
