How an online GP consultation works in Oldcastle
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 Oldcastle.
- Card authorised, charged only when confirmed
- No account or registration needed
- About 15 minutes with an Irish-registered GP

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Oldcastle 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 Oldcastle?
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.
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?
Your details are used to provide your care and are handled in line with GDPR. Consultations are confidential, exactly as they would be in a surgery.
What if I need a doctor in person in Oldcastle 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. Meath, contact NEDOC (North East Doctor on Call) on 1800 777 911 — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. 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.
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 Oldcastle?
Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
