Getting a sick cert online in Birr

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.

If you are too unwell to work or study, you may need a medical certificate. You can book an online consultation from Birr, explain your illness to an Irish-registered GP, and — where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate — receive a sick cert without having to sit in a waiting room while unwell.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Birr 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 Birr?

Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.

Can children see the online doctor?

DrCall is not intended for children under 3. For older children, a parent or guardian should make the booking and be with them during the consultation.

What happens after I book an appointment?

Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.

What if I need a doctor in person in Birr 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. Offaly, contact MIDOC on 1800 302 702 — 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.

When can I book an online doctor?

Appointments are available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, in 15-minute slots. The booking page shows the live, bookable times.
