Profile
About Dr Sohail
Dr Sohail Wahid is a general practitioner who already spends part of his week doing exactly what you are booking: since 2023 he has worked as a part-time telemedicine GP in Ireland, assessing patients of all ages by phone and video, prescribing, and knowing when someone needs to be seen in person or sent to emergency care. The rest of the week he is a GP at Frenchpark Medical Centre in Roscommon, looking after acute and long-term conditions, vaccinations, screening and referrals in a busy practice.
Before general practice he spent four years in Irish hospital medicine. He started as a senior house officer in general medicine at Sligo University Hospital, stayed on as a medical registrar, and then spent two years as a medical registrar at Nenagh General Hospital in the UL Hospitals Group, running acute medical admissions, supervising and teaching junior doctors, and leading decisions on call. Earlier, he worked for three and a half years as a medical officer at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, a high-volume hospital.
He holds MRCPI (General Medicine) from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, FCPS (General Medicine) and an MBBS from Khyber Medical College. He cares about getting the details right: he carried out a medication reconciliation audit at Nenagh, worked on improving colonoscopy documentation, and co-authored research on inflammatory bowel disease and mental health published in Cureus. He is a member of the Irish Society of Gastroenterology.

FAQs
Can I have an online GP consultation with Dr Wahid in Ireland?
Yes. Dr Wahid is registered with the Irish Medical Council (IMC 427774, General Division) and works as a GP at Frenchpark Medical Centre in Roscommon. Consultations are by secure video: have your medication list and any recent results ready, and you finish with a clear plan, a prescription where appropriate, or a referral.
Can he help manage diabetes or high blood pressure?
Yes. He reviews your home readings, HbA1c and kidney results, checks your medication and agrees targets and follow-up with you. Online reviews work well between in-person checks such as foot and blood pressure examinations.
Can he review my asthma or COPD online?
Yes. He goes through your symptoms, flare-ups, inhaler use and technique and adjusts treatment where needed, including a written action plan. Severe breathlessness, lips turning blue or being unable to speak in full sentences is an emergency: call 112 or 999.
Which health checks and screening make sense for me?
It depends on your age, family history and risk factors. Dr Wahid explains which checks are worthwhile — blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes screening and the national cancer screening programmes — and which ones add little.
Can he help with IBS or other bowel symptoms?
Yes. As a member of the Irish Society of Gastroenterology, he assesses pain, bloating and changes in bowel habit, suggests tests and treatment, and spots the warning signs — blood in the stool, weight loss or night-time symptoms — that need further investigation.
Is there an Urdu-speaking doctor in Ireland?
Yes. Dr Wahid consults in English and Urdu, so you can explain your symptoms in the language you are most comfortable with.
