See a doctor online in Dublin City today
Dublin City is Ireland's capital and largest city, spread around the River Liffey and Dublin Bay, in Co. Dublin.
As the county town of Co. Dublin, Dublin City is a natural hub for the surrounding area, and DrCall serves patients right across the county.
A video or phone consultation gives you access to the same Irish-registered GPs without the commute. Your doctor can send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy near you and explain the next steps clearly.
Getting a sick cert online in Dublin City
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.
If you are too unwell to work or study, you may need a medical certificate. You can book an online consultation from Dublin City, 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.

- Same-day appointments, 7 days a week
