Why Online Clinics Are Changing Irish Healthcare (And Why It Matters for You)
The New Way to See a Doctor in Ireland, without the Waiting Room
In Ireland, GP waiting times and rising costs continue to frustrate patients. According to The Irish Times (2024), many people now wait two weeks or more for a routine appointment. Meanwhile, urgent visits can mean hours in crowded waiting rooms.
That’s why more people are turning to online GP services - a faster, easier, and more affordable way to access healthcare.
With Beet Online Healthcare, you can speak to experienced Irish doctors through secure online consultations - bringing trusted, in-person medical expertise directly to your screen.
What Can Be Treated Online?
You might be surprised how many conditions can be diagnosed and treated online. If caught early enough, your Online GP can prescribe medication or treatment remotely, saving you time, stress, and travel.
Common illnesses treated through online clinics:
Colds, flu, and sinus infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Skin issues like acne, eczema, and rashes
Eye infections (e.g., conjunctivitis)
Allergies and hay fever
Prescription renewals
Minor stomach upsets or digestive problems
Mild anxiety, sleep problems, and stress-related issues
COVID-19 and other mild respiratory infections
If your symptoms suggest something more serious, your online doctor will refer you to an in-person clinic or hospital for follow-up. This ensures safe, seamless care, online and offline.
Why Early Diagnosis Online Matters
When symptoms appear, early access to care can make a major difference.
An online consultation lets you catch illnesses early - before they worsen and require in-person treatment.
Fast online access not only protects your health but also reduces pressure on Ireland’s healthcare system, helping clinics and A&E departments focus on more urgent cases.
Available After Hours, When You Actually Need It!
Traditional GP clinics often close at 5pm, but symptoms don’t follow a schedule. Online doctors are available after hours and weekends, so you can get care when it suits you, even from the comfort of your home.
For parents, shift workers, or anyone in rural Ireland, this accessibility means no more waiting days for help. Just log in, talk to a doctor, and get a prescription or a sick note in minutes.
