Online medical care in Ireland

Book an appointment online, choose a time that suits you, and join your consultation by secure video from your phone, tablet, or computer — no app download required. At the start of the call, your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and any medication you are currently taking, then carry out a clinical assessment based on what you describe and show if needed, such as a rash or injury, over video. Based on that assessment, your doctor may offer advice on managing your condition, request follow-up tests, refer you to a specialist, or issue a prescription or medical certificate — always at their professional discretion and only when clinically appropriate. After your consultation, you will receive a written summary by email covering what was discussed, any recommendations made, and clear next steps, so you have a record to keep or to share with another doctor if you ever need to.

All doctors on Global Health are registered with the relevant national medical council for the country you are booking in — for example, the Irish Medical Council in Ireland — meaning they have met the required standards of qualification, training, and ongoing professional practice to treat patients there. Each doctor's registration details are shown directly on their profile, so you can verify their credentials before you book, rather than taking it on trust. Profiles also include information about a doctor's specialty, languages spoken, and areas of clinical focus, helping you choose the right doctor for your needs. Doctors on our platform work across general practice and a range of specialties, including cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, and gynaecology, among others. Every consultation is led entirely by the treating doctor's own clinical judgement — decisions about advice, referrals, prescriptions, or certificates are always made by the doctor, based on their assessment of you.

Consultations at Global Health are available in six languages — English, Portuguese, Spanish, Czech, Romanian, and German — so you can speak with a doctor in the language you are most comfortable with, subject to clinician availability at the time you book. When you search for an appointment, you can filter the list of doctors by the language they speak, alongside factors like specialty and appointment time, so you only see doctors who match what you are looking for. Each doctor's profile also states clearly which languages they consult in, so you know before you book. This matters for more than convenience: being able to describe your symptoms and understand your doctor's advice in your own language helps ensure nothing is lost during a clinical conversation. If your preferred language is not available at a given time, you can choose another slot or check back later.

Yes — every consultation at Global Health takes place over encrypted, secure video conducted to national telemedicine standards, so your conversation with your doctor stays private between the two of you. Consultations are not recorded, and your video call exists only for the duration of the appointment itself. Any clinical information you share — your symptoms, history, and the notes your doctor makes — is stored securely and handled in line with GDPR and applicable national data protection law, with access limited to the clinicians involved in your care. You have rights over your own data, including the right to request a copy of your medical records or ask how your information is used and stored. Our booking and payment systems follow the same security standards as other regulated healthcare providers. If you ever have concerns about privacy, our support team can explain exactly how your information is protected.

Choose the type of consultation you need — a GP appointment, a specialist review, or a guided health test — and you will see the next available time slots based on real doctor availability, including same-day appointments in many cases. Select a slot, enter your details, and complete payment securely online; no membership or subscription is required, and you only pay for the consultation you book. Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email straight away with your appointment time, the video link you will use to join, and simple instructions for what to do beforehand, such as having your ID or a list of current medications ready. You can access your appointment details at any time from your patient account, and you will receive a reminder ahead of your consultation, so nothing catches you off guard.

Consultations at Global Health cost from €29.00. There are no hidden fees and no membership required.
