Getting a sick cert online in Woodford

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Woodford 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 Woodford?

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

Can I claim an online GP visit on my health insurance?

Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.

What happens after I book an appointment?

Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.

What if I need a doctor in person in Woodford 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. Galway, contact Westdoc on 0818 360 000 — 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.

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

Yes. If your doctor wants to review you again they will say so, and you can simply book another appointment online.

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.
