A neutral, non-commercial overview of the operators currently providing online GP services to Irish patients. Pricing and scope are drawn from each operator's own published material as of mid-2026.
Online GP services in Ireland have grown substantially since the pandemic accelerated remote consultation as a category. The market in 2026 is dominated by two Irish-owned operators — Webdoctor.ie and Centric Health Online Doctors — with Irish Life Health offering a digital-doctor service bundled into private health insurance, several smaller telehealth providers competing on price (HealthHero, GetHealthcare, Eirdoc, Healthwave), and US giant Hims & Hers entering Ireland in 2025 via its acquisition of Zava. Headline pricing ranges from about €21.50 to €55 per consultation, with prescription-only requests from around €25. The structural driver of demand is the GP shortage covered on the GP shortage page.
The largest Irish online doctor service. Trusted by 800,000+ patients per the company's own published figure. Forty or more Irish Medical Council-registered doctors on the platform, available seven days a week including evenings. Video consultations from €39. Online prescriptions from €25. Repeat prescriptions €30. Also offers home health-test kits, a corporate healthcare service, and a mental health consultation product. Featured in Deloitte's Fast 50 Technology Awards. Apps for iOS and Android. Operating from webdoctor.ie.
The online-GP arm of Centric Health, which operates a network of GP surgeries across Ireland. Online consultation at €55 with no listed hidden fees, daily 7am-7pm. Video and phone options. All consultations carried out by experienced Centric Health GP doctors registered with the Irish Medical Council. Records integrated with the Socrates GP system. Operating from centrichealth.ie.
Online doctor service bundled into Irish Life Health insurance plans rather than sold standalone. Members can access the service as a benefit of their cover. Pricing isn't separately published — for plan members it's effectively included; non-members can't directly purchase. Operating from irishlife.ie.
Smaller Irish telehealth operator. Online GP appointments at €36 for video or phone consultations with Irish-registered GPs. Service is published as flexible-hours. Less established than Webdoctor.ie or Centric Health — useful as a price-conscious option but with a smaller doctor pool.
Irish online-doctor service offering appointments and prescriptions, with cover advertised around the clock. Online prescription requests from €25 and video appointments from €39 — broadly matching Webdoctor's headline rates. Rebranded from MyClinic.ie.
Solo telehealth operator with virtual consultations from Irish Medical Council-registered GPs. Information-page positioning, smaller scale than the operators above. Operating from dronline.ie.
European telehealth platform that entered Ireland with services like repeat prescriptions for contraceptive pills, morning-after pills, and travel medication. Online consultations are among the cheapest on the market at around €21.50, with prescriptions routed to a partner pharmacy for collection. Acquired by US-listed Hims & Hers Health in June 2025; the Zava brand is transitioning to Hims & Hers branding and the company has indicated full integration through 2026. Operating from zavamed.com/ie at the time of writing.

Online doctor services in Ireland are useful for routine prescriptions, repeat scripts, minor ailments, sick-note certificates, and follow-ups. They are not substitutes for an in-person GP for ongoing chronic-condition management, anything requiring physical examination, vaccinations, mental health crises, or complex multi-system presentations. Most operators say so on their own pages. The decision tree is straightforward — start with face-to-face if your GP can see you within a workable window; reach for online services when the alternative is a long wait or no GP at all.
The structural reason that "no GP at all" is increasingly the alternative is covered on the GP shortage briefing.
