What this service is for
Some symptoms feel urgent but are not immediately life-threatening. An Irish Medical Council registered GP can review your history, advise on self-care or treatment where appropriate, and tell you clearly if you need same-day in-person care, out-of-hours services, or emergency pathways.
This is not an A&E replacement. If you have chest pain, severe breathlessness, stroke signs, heavy bleeding, collapse, or other red-flag emergencies, call 999 or 112 now.
Clear safety guidance
Your doctor prioritises safety over convenience. You may leave with advice, a prescription when clinically appropriate, a sick cert when justified, or a firm recommendation to seek face-to-face care without delay.
