Why Online Respiratory Care Is Needed in Ireland Right Now
As of May 2026, almost 670,000 patients across all specialties are on Ireland's outpatient waiting list. Respiratory medicine has not been spared: reports through 2026 point to recurring treatment delays in respiratory care, including within paediatric services at Children's Health Ireland, driven by staff shortages and limited capacity. While Ireland's overall consultant workforce grew by around 9% a year between 2021 and 2025, pressures in specific specialties like respiratory medicine persist.
Chronic respiratory conditions — COPD, asthma, and sleep apnoea in particular — require ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustment rather than one-off visits, which adapts well to a remote care model. Ireland's market already has a sophisticated ecosystem of remote diagnostic and monitoring technology built specifically around sleep apnoea (home testing, CPAP management) and AI-supported asthma/COPD care — a clear signal that patients and providers alike see real value in managing these conditions remotely.
Online respiratory care is one real way to help ease this pressure — and you can be part of it.
The Position: Respiratory Consultant for Online Consultations
We're looking for licensed respiratory consultants based in Ireland to join our online clinic. Through our platform, you'll provide remote respiratory consultations to patients across the country, with full flexibility to shape your work schedule.

- Clear referral protocols — defined pathways for cases requiring urgent in-person care (e.g. significant respiratory distress)

What You'll Be Part Of
- A genuinely international team of doctors — collaborate and connect with colleagues across Europe and Brazil
- A growing platform — you're joining Global Health at a growth stage in Ireland, not a position within an already-established system
- Real impact — help patients with COPD, asthma, and sleep apnoea get the regular follow-up they need, without long waits

Who We're Looking For

- Specialisation in Respiratory Medicine
- Experience with telemedicine tools is a plus (training and onboarding support provided)
- Fluent English; Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, or Czech are a bonus given our presence in those markets
