Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Malin 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 Malin?
Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.
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.
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 Malin 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. Donegal, contact NoWDOC and local Donegal out-of-hours services — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. Donegal is served by more than one out-of-hours service depending on where you live — use the HSE finder to find yours. 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.
Can I see a doctor at the weekend in Malin?
Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
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.
