Getting a sick cert online in Shillelagh
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Shillelagh 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 Shillelagh?
Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.
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.

Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
What if I need a doctor in person in Shillelagh 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.

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 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.
