How an online GP consultation works in Fahan
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Fahan 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 Fahan?
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.
Can I book a follow-up if I need one?
Yes. If your doctor wants to review you again they will say so, and you can simply book another appointment online.
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 Fahan.
What if I need a doctor in person in Fahan 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. Donegal, contact NoWDOC and local Donegal out-of-hours services — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. Donegal is served by more than one out-of-hours service depending on where you live — use the HSE finder to find yours. 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.
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 Fahan — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
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.
