Online geriatric medicine. From anywhere. Anytime.
About Us
Global Health is a telemedicine platform already operating in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Czechia, and Brazil. Our promise is simple: Medicine Anytime, Anywhere. We're building a clinic that removes barriers between doctors and the patients who need them — wherever they are.
Why Online Geriatric Medicine Is Needed in Ireland Right Now
Ireland's population aged 65 and over is projected to grow from 0.78 million in 2022 to more than 1.3 million by 2040 — a demographic shift that policymakers themselves describe as making rising demand for elderly care services inevitable. Ireland's overall waiting lists, covering inpatient, outpatient, and endoscopy services, reached 894,369 by the end of 2025, with staff constraints and population ageing repeatedly cited together as the primary drivers.
For older patients, especially those with reduced mobility, travelling to an in-person appointment can itself be a significant barrier to care. Remote consultation is particularly well suited to this population — regular follow-up, medication review, and coordination of care for multiple chronic conditions can often be managed effectively without requiring a physical visit.
Online geriatric medicine is one real way to help meet this growing need — and you can be part of it.

- Real impact — bring specialist geriatric care to older patients with reduced mobility, without requiring them to travel
- Ongoing support — technical, administrative, and clinical support so you can focus on medicine, not paperwork
Who We're Looking For
- Valid medical registration in Ireland (Irish Medical Council)

- Fluent English; Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, or Czech are a bonus given our presence in those markets
Why Now
With the population aged 65 and over set to grow by more than 60% by 2040, and waiting lists already under significant pressure, the need for accessible geriatric care in Ireland will only intensify. Doctors who join at this stage help shape how online geriatric medicine actually works within Global Health in Ireland — this isn't just about filling a schedule, it's about building something new.
