How to Prepare for Your Appointment

A little preparation can help you make the most of your consultation.

Before your appointment:

Write down your main symptoms and when they started.
Make a note of any changes in your condition.
Prepare a list of your current medicines and relevant allergies.
Keep details of previous diagnoses or test results available if relevant.
Write down any questions you want to ask your doctor.
Choose a quiet, private place with a reliable phone or internet connection.

You must be physically located in Ireland at the time of your appointment. Receipts are provided for insurance claims.

Important: Online consultations are not an emergency service. If you have chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke or another potentially life-threatening problem, call 112 or 999 in Ireland.
