Question 1

What is an online GP or online doctor in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

An online GP (also called an online doctor) is a Medical Council of Ireland–registered doctor you meet by secure video instead of travelling to a surgery. GPLine provides nationwide video consultations for non-emergency care — with fees shown before you pay, and sick certs or prescriptions only where clinically appropriate after a genuine consultation.

Question 2

How much does an online doctor consultation cost?

Accepted Answer

The exact consultation fee is shown clearly when you book — the price you see is the price you pay. Prescriptions, sick certs and referral letters are included where clinically appropriate. There are no subscriptions or hidden admin fees. Medication itself is paid separately to your pharmacy. Standard GP visits typically start from €45; sick certs from €30.

Question 3

Can I get a sick cert online or a sick note in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After a genuine video consultation, if the GP considers a medical certificate clinically appropriate, your cert is emailed the same day as a PDF showing the doctor's name and IMC registration — accepted by many Irish employers and colleges. Certs are never issued without a real doctor–patient consultation, and never as a guaranteed product at booking.

Question 4

Can the doctor prescribe medication?

Accepted Answer

For many conditions, yes — prescriptions are issued where clinically appropriate and sent electronically to your chosen Irish pharmacy. Booking does not guarantee a prescription. GPLine does not prescribe controlled drugs, sedatives, sleeping tablets or medications with a risk of dependence.

Question 5

Is GPLine available everywhere in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes — nationwide. All you need is a phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection. From Dublin to Donegal, consultations run securely by video in your browser.

Question 6

Are online GP consultations GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Consultations are encrypted, records are stored on servers within the EU, and we operate under GDPR regulated by the Irish Data Protection Commission. We never sell your health data.

Question 7

Can I book an online doctor in Dublin, Cork, Galway or rural Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GPLine covers the whole Republic of Ireland — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and every county from Donegal to Kerry. Video consultations work from home, work or while travelling within Ireland.

Question 8

Do you offer telemedicine Ireland and telehealth Ireland services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GPLine is an Irish telemedicine / telehealth service: secure video GP consultations, sick certs and prescriptions where clinically appropriate, and follow-up notes by email — with IMC-registered doctors.

Question 9

Why should I trust GPLine for online GP care in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Verifiable IMC-registered doctors, transparent fees before payment, clinical governance, GDPR-compliant EU records, published doctor profiles, and honest limits on prescribing. We never guarantee prescriptions or sick certs at booking — outcomes follow a genuine consultation.
