  • Review any existing test results, hospital letters or medication lists you provide
  • Assess concerns around mobility, memory, falls risk or general frailty
  • Explain findings clearly and discuss an appropriate management plan
  • Advise on next steps, including further testing, in-person assessment, or referral where clinically indicated

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral to book a geriatric consultation?

No. You can book directly. If you have GP notes, hospital letters or recent test results, sharing them before the appointment helps your geriatrician prepare, but they are not needed to book.

Can a family member or carer join the consultation?

Yes. With the patient's consent, a family member or carer is welcome to join the video call. They often help fill in the medical history, describe changes they have noticed at home and take part in planning next steps.

Who is a geriatric consultation for?

It is mainly for adults aged 65 and over, especially those living with several long-term conditions, taking multiple medicines, or noticing changes in memory, mobility or general health. Younger adults with frailty or complex care needs can also benefit.

Can a geriatrician assess memory problems online?

Yes, as a first step. Your geriatrician will take a detailed history, ask structured questions about memory and thinking, and speak with a family member where possible. A formal dementia diagnosis usually needs further tests, such as blood tests, a scan or a memory clinic assessment, which your geriatrician will recommend or arrange.

Can you review all the medicines my parent takes?

Yes. A medication review is one of the most useful parts of a geriatric consultation. Have a list of every medicine ready, or photos of the boxes, including supplements and anything bought over the counter. Your geriatrician will look for side effects, interactions and medicines that may no longer be needed, and share recommendations with your GP.

How much does a geriatric consultation cost?

An online geriatric consultation costs €160. There are no hidden fees and no membership required.

What if my relative has hearing or vision difficulties, or is not confident with technology?

A family member or carer can set up the call and sit with them. A laptop or tablet with a larger screen, headphones or a hearing aid connection, and a quiet, well-lit room make the conversation easier. Your geriatrician will speak clearly and take the time needed.

When is an online consultation not suitable?

An online consultation is not for emergencies. For sudden confusion, signs of a stroke such as face drooping or slurred speech, a fall with injury, chest pain or severe breathlessness, call 112 or 999 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Medical disclaimer. All services are provided at GP level in accordance with Irish healthcare regulations. Prescriptions, referrals, and medical certificates may be issued only when clinically appropriate and at the doctor's discretion. Our doctors do not routinely prescribe controlled substances through online consultations. Electronic sick leave certificates are not accepted by the Department of Social Protection in Ireland. Backdated sick notes are not routinely issued due to the lack of a direct clinical assessment at the time of illness.
