Ring lies in Co. Waterford (Munster).

Whether you are in Ring or elsewhere in Co. Waterford — Waterford City included — you can book the same online GP service.

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.

For people in rural areas around Ring, an online doctor can save a long drive — especially when the nearest surgery is busy or closed.

Getting a sick cert online in Ring

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 Ring, 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
  • No waiting room while you are unwell
  • From €35, charged only once confirmed
  • Consultation by video or phone with an Irish-registered GP

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Ring 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 Ring?

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

Which pharmacy will my prescription go to?

The pharmacy you choose when you book. If your doctor issues a prescription it is sent electronically to that pharmacy, so you can collect it close to Ring.

What if I need to be seen in person?

If a physical examination is needed, your doctor will explain why and advise on the best next step. In an emergency, call 112 or 999 or go to your nearest emergency department.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ring 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. Waterford, contact Caredoc on 0818 300 365 — 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.

How long does an online GP consultation take?

A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you properly.

Can I book a follow-up if I need one?
