Getting a sick cert online in Ballinasloe

Not everything can be certified remotely. If your doctor needs to examine you, or your illness needs urgent care, they will tell you and advise on the right next step.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinasloe 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.
Will my employer accept an online sick cert?
A certificate issued after a genuine consultation with an Irish-registered doctor is normally accepted, but employer policies vary. If you are unsure, check with your employer or HR before you book.
Can you backdate a sick cert for me in Ballinasloe?
Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.
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 get a prescription or sick cert online in Ballinasloe?
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.
What if I need a doctor in person in Ballinasloe 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.
