Athlone is a midlands town straddling the River Shannon, in Co. Westmeath.

Whether you are in Athlone or elsewhere in Co. Westmeath — Mullingar included — you can book the same online GP service.

An in-person GP appointment in Athlone isn't always quick to get. With an online consultation you can speak to a doctor from home or work, have prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy and get a sick cert where clinically appropriate.

How an online GP consultation works in Athlone

You do not need a DrCall account. If you have a regular GP in Athlone, mention them when you book — your online doctor may suggest follow-up with them where that is the sensible next step.

An online GP consultation follows the same shape as a surgery visit. Your doctor asks about your symptoms and medical history, may ask you to describe — or show on camera — what is bothering you, and agrees a plan with you: advice, a prescription, a certificate, a referral, or a recommendation to be seen in person.

  • Choose your own day and time
  • Prescriptions sent electronically to your pharmacy, where appropriate

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Athlone 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.

What is the difference between an online GP and my local GP in Athlone?

An online GP consults by video or phone, so you can be seen quickly from anywhere. Your local surgery knows your long-term history and can examine you in person. Many people use both — DrCall for convenience and speed, their local GP for ongoing care.

How long is an online GP appointment?

Slots are 15 minutes. Your doctor will take the time they need to deal with your concern properly.

Which pharmacy will my prescription go to?

The pharmacy you choose when you book. If your doctor issues a prescription it is sent electronically to that pharmacy, so you can collect it close to Athlone.

What if I need to be seen in person?

If a physical examination is needed, your doctor will explain why and advise on the best next step. In an emergency, call 112 or 999 or go to your nearest emergency department.

What if I need a doctor in person in Athlone 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. Westmeath, contact MIDOC on 1800 302 702 — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. MIDOC covers east Westmeath (including Mullingar); check the HSE finder for the Athlone area. 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.

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.

Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Athlone?

Yes, where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and sick certs are available for work or college. DrCall cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants.
