About DrOnline247 — Online Doctor Ireland
IMC-registered GPs for video and phone care across Ireland. Book a suitable non-emergency consultation in a few steps — emergencies: 999 or 112.
Remote GP care for suitable non-emergency concerns — with clear advice when face-to-face or emergency care is needed.
DrOnline247 (dronline247.ie) is an Irish telemedicine platform that connects patients with Irish Medical Council registered GPs through video and phone consultations. We support people across Ireland who need timely GP advice when remote care is clinically suitable — not as a replacement for every in-person assessment. After a consultation, a doctor may provide advice, send an e-prescription to your local pharmacy, or issue a medical certificate where appropriate. Clinical judgement, privacy, and honest escalation come first. For life-threatening emergencies, call 999 or 112.
01
Patient-centred care
Consultations start with listening: your symptoms, history, and circumstances. The doctor explains options in plain language and decides what is appropriate — including when a prescription, certificate, or further investigation is or is not suitable.
02
Professional standards
Consultations are with GPs registered with the Irish Medical Council. Care follows the professional standards expected of GP practice in Ireland. Prescriptions and certificates are clinical decisions — never guaranteed on request alone.
03
Clear limits of remote care
Telemedicine cannot replace every examination or test. If remote care is not suitable, you will be advised to seek face-to-face or urgent care. We keep improving booking, privacy, and follow-up so the pathway stays clear and safe.
Our Story
Why we built a remote GP pathway for Ireland — and the standards we work to.
01
The reality we saw
Too many people across Ireland struggle to get a timely GP appointment, take time off work, or travel to a clinic for issues that can be safely and effectively handled online.
02
What we set out to do
We set out to offer an Irish-based remote GP service where patients can speak with Medical Council registered doctors for suitable concerns — without unnecessary travel when clinical judgement allows.
03
What we built
A booking and consultation pathway that can include advice, e-prescriptions to your local pharmacy, medical certificates, and referrals — when the doctor judges them appropriate after assessment.
04
Who we serve
People across Ireland use the service when a timely remote consult helps — professionals, parents, rural patients, and anyone for whom travel or waiting is a barrier, provided remote care remains suitable.
05
Our commitment
Our team is committed to making telemedicine in Ireland reliable, private, and human. Clinicians introduce themselves during your consultation, and care is guided by the same professional standards you would expect in an Irish GP setting.
06
The standard we keep
Every consultation is with an Irish Medical Council registered GP. We combine technology with a person-centred approach so that online healthcare in Ireland feels safe, clear, and professional.

Our Core Values
Security & Privacy
We handle personal and health information under Irish and EU data-protection rules (GDPR) and our published policies. Consultations are confidential. We do not share your information without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.
Professional Excellence
Consultations are with GPs registered with the Irish Medical Council. Care follows professional standards expected of GP practice in Ireland. Prescriptions, certificates and treatment plans are decided after clinical assessment — never guaranteed on request alone.
Convenience & Accessibility
Healthcare when remote care suits. Book an available appointment, discuss your concern with an Irish GP, and receive advice—plus an e-prescription or medical certificate when clinically appropriate. Flexible slots may include evenings or weekends depending on diary availability.
Careful clinical judgement
We improve booking, consultation flow, and follow-up based on feedback and clinical practice needs. The goal is clear, safe care — not marketing promises about outcomes.
Integrity & transparency
We are clear about what remote care can and cannot do. Doctors work to the professional and ethical standards expected of Irish GP practice. You should receive honest advice about your options and how your information is handled.
Practical technology
We use video, phone, and a patient portal to support access — while keeping clinical decision-making with the doctor. Technology should make care clearer, not replace professional judgement.
Why Choose DrOnline247?
Irish Medical Council registered GPs
Consultations are with GPs registered with the Irish Medical Council. Remote care can be highly effective for many concerns, but it is not identical to every in-person visit — examinations and some tests still need face-to-face pathways.
Confidential consultations
Consultations are private and handled under our data-protection policies and Irish/EU GDPR rules. We do not share your information without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.
E-prescriptions to your pharmacy
Where clinically appropriate, an e-prescription may be sent to your chosen pharmacy in Ireland. Controlled medicines are not prescribed through this service, and a requested medicine is never guaranteed.
Flexible scheduling
Book when slots are available — including evenings or weekends where offered. Availability depends on the diary; same-day or next-day options may appear when free.
Receipts for your records
You receive a receipt for your records. Whether a consultation is reclaimable through private health insurance depends on your policy — please check with your insurer. We do not claim that all major plans cover this service.
Follow-up through your portal
Use your patient portal to access consultation information and arrange follow-up when needed. Ongoing care works alongside your regular Irish healthcare pathway — it does not replace your registered GP for all needs.
What We Offer
Remote GP consultations can help with many everyday non-emergency concerns — from acute symptoms and medication reviews to certificates and referrals — when the doctor decides remote care is suitable.
GP consultations by video or phone
Speak with an Irish Medical Council registered GP about symptoms and next steps. Remote care is useful for many concerns; it is not a full substitute for every physical examination or investigation.
E-prescriptions & certificates
Where clinically appropriate, an e-prescription may go to your local pharmacy, or a medical certificate may be issued for work or college. Neither is automatic.
Referrals & follow-up
Specialist referral letters may be arranged when clinically indicated, with follow-up options through your patient portal where appropriate.
Our Commitment to Ireland
We serve patients across Ireland — cities and rural areas alike — within Irish and EU regulatory expectations for medical practice and data protection. Doctors prescribe and refer in ways that fit local pharmacy and hospital pathways when remote care is appropriate. Geography or a busy schedule should not block timely advice; equally, we will not overstate what a remote consultation can achieve. Thank you for considering DrOnline247 for suitable non-emergency care.
