Medical certificates online — clear and verifiable
People search for “medical certificate online” when work, college or an insurer asks for formal paperwork. GPLine issues PDF certificates only after a genuine video consultation with a Medical Council–registered GP — and only when clinically appropriate.
What a proper medical certificate usually includes
Expect your name, the dates you are certified unfit for work or study, the date of issue, and the doctor’s name with Medical Council registration. Diagnosis details stay private — your employer does not receive your clinical notes.
Sick cert, sick note, medical certificate
In everyday Irish English these terms overlap. Employers often say “sick cert”; colleges may say “medical certificate”. GPLine provides a formal PDF that serves that purpose when the doctor agrees it is appropriate.
Statutory sick pay and paperwork
Your employer’s handbook sets when a certificate is required. Statutory sick pay rules are separate from GPLine’s clinical decision. If you need a Department of Social Protection form for Illness Benefit, ask during the consultation — it is not the same document as an employer cert.
