How an online GP consultation works in Ballinalack
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.
Online GP care works best for common, everyday problems. It is not suitable for emergencies, and our doctors will always tell you plainly if you need a face-to-face examination instead.
- About 15 minutes with an Irish-registered GP

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinalack 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 Ballinalack?
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.
Do I have to travel to see the doctor?
No. Consultations take place by secure video or phone, so you can be at home in Ballinalack — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
Can I see a doctor at the weekend in Ballinalack?
Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
What if I need a doctor in person in Ballinalack 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.
What should I have ready for my online consultation?
Find a quiet, private place with a good signal, keep your phone charged, and have your medication names and any recent readings to hand. Your doctor will call you at the time you booked.
Who can see my consultation details?
