How a video or phone GP appointment works in Macroom
After you book, your doctor contacts you at the time you chose — by phone call or WhatsApp video call, on the number you gave when booking. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Macroom 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 Macroom?
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.
Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?
Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.
Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Macroom?
Yes, where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and sick certs are available for work or college. DrCall cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants.
What if I need a doctor in person in Macroom 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. Cork, contact SouthDoc on 0818 355 999 — 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.

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.
