Your GP options in Dundalk

People who look up a GP in Dundalk usually want either a permanent family doctor, which means registering with a local practice where many lists are full, or help today for something that will not wait. That is where an online GP fits.

An online GP does not replace a registered family doctor, but it can help when you cannot wait for an appointment.

Why Dundalk patients turn to online GP care

Same-day GP slots in Dundalk fill quickly, and Louth County Hospital no longer has an Emergency Department, so people with ordinary complaints are often unsure where to turn. For anything that is not an emergency, seeing a GP online can be quicker. The fee is a flat €39 and does not rise in the evening, at weekends or on bank holidays.

Prescriptions to your Dundalk pharmacy

When a prescription is clinically suitable, the GP sends it to the Dundalk pharmacy you name, from Clanbrassil Street and Park Street to the Marshes Shopping Centre, so you can collect close to home. The GP review fee does not include the cost of medicine. Controlled or addictive medicines are not prescribed through this service. Read our prescription policy.

Urgent care near Dundalk

Online appointments are not for emergencies. For severe chest pain, serious breathing difficulty or another emergency, call 112 or 999. Do not wait for an online appointment or referral.

An Irish Medical Council registered GP can assess suitable concerns by video or phone. If a physical examination, tests or urgent assessment are needed, the GP will advise in-person care.
