Profile
About Dr Tiago
Dr. Tiago Miguel Figueira is a Doctor of Medicine (MUDr.) graduated in General Medicine from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine in Brno, one of Europe's most internationally recognised medical schools, with clinical experience across Portugal, Ireland and Czechia.
Before dedicating himself fully to online medicine, Dr. Figueira served as a Senior House Officer in General Surgery at Tipperary University Hospital in Ireland, gaining hands-on experience in acute care, perioperative medicine, surgical assistance and emergency response. This hospital background gives him the clinical foundation to recognise when something needs urgent attention, and when it doesn't.
Today, as Clinical Director of Global Health Ireland and Portugal, Dr. Figueira leads the delivery of online primary care across both markets, from Dublin to Lisbon and everywhere in between. He became an online doctor because he believes that quality healthcare should be available to everyone, regardless of where they live, what language they speak, or how long they can wait.
As part of Global Health Ireland and Portugal, Dr. Figueira offers online GP consultations available today, including same-day appointments for acute illness, prescription renewals, sick notes, and medical certificates. His consultations are available to patients across Dublin, Ireland and Portugal and are legally valid for prescriptions at any Irish or Portuguese pharmacy.
