Online prescriptions in Ring: what to expect

Some medicines cannot be prescribed through DrCall at all: benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants are never prescribed.

Repeat medication is usually reviewed against your history, so have your current medicines, doses and the date of your last review ready. Your doctor may decline to prescribe, or ask to see you in person, if it is not safe to do so remotely.

  • From €35, charged only once confirmed
  • Doctor assessment first — no “order and pay” prescriptions
  • Sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, where appropriate

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Ring 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.

Which pharmacy will my online prescription go to?

The one you choose when you book — for example, a pharmacy near Ring. If a prescription is issued, it is sent electronically to that pharmacy.

Can I get any medicine through an online prescription?

No. Your doctor decides what is safe and appropriate after speaking to you. Benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants cannot be prescribed through DrCall.

How long does an online GP consultation take?

A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you 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.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ring 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. Waterford, contact Caredoc on 0818 300 365 — 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.

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.
