How an online GP consultation works in Howth
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.
Appointments last about 15 minutes. Book a slot, give us a few details and the reason for your visit, and your GP will contact you at the time you chose, wherever you are in Howth.
- About 15 minutes with an Irish-registered GP
- Choose your own day and time
- 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

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Howth 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 Howth?
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.
Can I see a doctor at the weekend in Howth?
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 Howth 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. Dublin, contact Dubdoc on 01 454 5607 — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. Dubdoc covers parts of Dublin; some areas have a different service — check the HSE finder if unsure. 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 Howth — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Howth?
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.
