How a video or phone GP appointment works in Birr
If the signal drops, your doctor will simply call you back. If a problem cannot be dealt with remotely, they will explain what to do next.
Video helps when your doctor needs to see something — a rash, a swelling or how you are breathing. A voice call is fine for many other consultations. Your doctor will tell you if they need to see you on camera.

How much does an online GP consultation in Birr 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.
Do I need to download an app for a video GP appointment?
No. Your doctor contacts you by phone call or WhatsApp video call on the number you provide when booking. You do not need a DrCall account.
What if my connection is poor in Birr?
Tell the doctor straight away. A normal phone call usually works even where video does not, and your doctor can call you back if the line drops.

Yes. DrCall runs seven days a week, so weekend and evening appointments are available — the booking page shows the live times.
