Seeing a GP online
An online GP consultation follows a structured clinical history and, where helpful, a visual review on video. Treatment plans, prescriptions and certificates depend on clinical judgement — the same professional standards as other GP practice in Ireland.
Choose online GP care when remote assessment is reasonable. Choose your local surgery, out-of-hours GP, or emergency services when examination, continuity or urgency requires it.

- Primary-care advice for suitable remote presentations

- Emergencies — 999 or 112
- Complex ongoing care that needs your registered practice records and examination
Common questions
