Who This Service Is For
This consultation is designed for patients who are already living with one or more diagnosed conditions and need structured, ongoing medical management — not a one-off assessment.
This is the right consultation if you:
- Are managing a chronic condition such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, or thyroid disease
- Have recently received a diagnosis and need a comprehensive care plan
- Are an expat or international resident without a registered GP in Ireland managing you long-term
- Have multiple conditions that interact and need a doctor who understands the full picture
- Want a doctor who will review your history, track your progress, and adjust your care over time
- Need coordination across specialists, investigations, and ongoing treatment pathways
What Your Consultation Includes
Full Chronic Disease AssessmentYour doctor will review your diagnosis history, current condition status, medication, symptom control, and any changes since your last review — building a complete and current clinical picture rather than treating each appointment in isolation.
Personalised Care PlanBased on your assessment, your doctor will develop or update a structured care plan tailored to your condition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals — including monitoring targets, lifestyle recommendations, and clinical milestones.
Treatment ReviewA clinical review of whether your current management approach remains appropriate, effective, and safe given your current health status. Any adjustments are made at the doctor's professional discretion following full assessment.
Preventive Care & ScreeningChronic conditions increase risk across multiple systems. Your doctor will advise on appropriate screening, monitoring, and preventive measures relevant to your specific condition profile.
Coordination of CareWhere specialist input, diagnostic investigations, or in-person assessment are needed, your doctor will coordinate referrals and ensure continuity across your care pathway — so nothing falls through the gaps.
Clinical DocumentationReferral letters, clinical summaries, and other documentation issued at the doctor's professional discretion where clinically appropriate.

Why Patients Choose Us
IMC Specialist Division — Family MedicineOur chronic disease doctors are registered on the Specialist Division in Family Medicine with the Irish Medical Council. This is the highest level of GP qualification in Ireland and the standard you should expect for long-term condition management.
Built for expats and international residentsManaging a chronic condition in a country where you have no registered GP is genuinely difficult. We provide the ongoing primary care relationship that expats, international students, and international residents need — in their language, on their schedule, without the administrative barriers of the Irish GP registration system.
Continuity over timeWe maintain your clinical history, care plan, and consultation notes within our secure platform. Where possible we match returning patients with the same doctor — because continuity is not a luxury in chronic disease management, it is a clinical requirement.
20-minute appointmentsChronic conditions cannot be properly managed in 15 minutes. This appointment is structured to give your doctor the time your condition actually requires.
Secure and fully confidentialAll consultations are conducted via encrypted video call in full compliance with Irish data protection and telehealth standards.
