Depending on clinical assessment, your GP may provide treatment advice, recommend monitoring, issue an e-prescription to your local pharmacy, provide a medical certificate where appropriate, or arrange further care. Outcomes are never guaranteed on request alone.

Common questions about remote GP care
When is a remote GP consultation suitable?
DrOnline247.ie offers video or phone consultations with Irish Medical Council registered GPs for many non-emergency concerns. Remote care is not suitable for every situation — if an examination, investigation, or urgent face-to-face assessment is needed, the doctor will tell you clearly.
Can I get a sick certificate after an online consultation?
You may discuss fitness for work or college during your appointment. A medical certificate is issued only when the doctor decides it is clinically appropriate — never automatically. Some situations still need an in-person assessment.
Can I get a prescription sent to my pharmacy?
After assessment, an Irish GP may issue an e-prescription to your chosen pharmacy when clinically appropriate. Controlled medicines are not prescribed through this service. A requested medicine is never guaranteed.
Can I book for a cough, cold or flu-like illness?
Yes — many coughs, colds and short fevers can be reviewed remotely when you are otherwise stable. Book Cough, Cold & Fever or a general GP consultation. Severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, confusion or collapse are emergencies — call 999 or 112, do not wait for an online slot.
How do I book an appointment?
Go to Book Appointment, choose a service and available time, share relevant details, and join by video or phone. Pricing is shown before you confirm. For life-threatening emergencies in Ireland, call 999 or 112 — do not wait for an online slot.
How is my information handled?
Take your consultation in a private space. We handle personal and health information under Irish and EU data-protection rules (GDPR) and our published policies. Please review those policies before you book.
