Getting a sick cert online in Cork City
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.
A certificate is never automatic. Your doctor must be satisfied, from your consultation, that you are genuinely unfit for work or study, and the certificate covers the period the doctor judges reasonable. Backdating is only possible where there is a clinical reason for it.
- Consultation by video or phone with an Irish-registered GP
- Certificate issued where clinically appropriate
