Between the school run, the airport and a busy Main Street, finding time for a GP in Swords is not always simple. NOVAGP lets you talk to an Irish-registered GP by video or phone for a flat €39, 7 days a week, with same-day appointments when available. When clinically suitable, your prescription goes to a Swords pharmacy and a sick cert or referral letter is emailed to you. No app, no subscription.

Built for Swords commuters and airport workers
Swords sits beside Dublin Airport and on the main commuter routes into the city. Shift workers and busy parents rarely find a free daytime GP slot. You can be seen before work, after work or at the weekend, by video or phone, for the same flat €39 with no evening or weekend surcharge.
How D-Doc out of hours works in Swords
When your own surgery is closed, the out-of-hours GP service for Swords is D-Doc, run by NorthDoc. Phone 0818 224 476 first; a triage nurse will ring you back. It is by appointment only, with no walk-in. The Swords treatment centre is at Swords Health Centre, Bridge Street (K67 X765). D-Doc is for urgent problems, not routine care such as repeat prescriptions or certificates, and is not an emergency service. In a life-threatening emergency, call 112 or 999.
