How an online GP consultation works in Ballycumber
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.
- Prescriptions sent electronically to your pharmacy, where appropriate
- Sick certs and referrals where clinically appropriate
- Card authorised, charged only when confirmed
- No account or registration needed
- About 15 minutes with an Irish-registered GP
