Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Loughrea 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 Loughrea?
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.
Do I have to travel to see the doctor?
No. Consultations take place by secure video or phone, so you can be at home in Loughrea — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.

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.

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.
