What We Can Provide
- These certificates are issued following a video consultation.
- Our doctors, like any other GP service, issue medical certifications at their clinical discretion. We can not foresee or influence the clinical decisions of the doctors. They have complete clinical autonomy.
If you are unsure whether your request can be addressed in an online GP video consultation, please email info@webdoctor.ie and we will be happy to advise.
As we are an online video consultation service, we cannot issue certificates/ reports that require a physical examination, including but not limited to:
- Retrospective medical certificates
- Ergonomic assessments for workplace/home office equipment
- Driver’s license medical reports
- Fit for work certificates
- Fit for sports certificates (e.g. gym/marathons/sports)
- Fit for travel
- Historical illnesses (illnesses you are not currently suffering from)
Please be advised, we cannot provide retrospective medical certificates. Medical certification can only be provided when a patient has been seen within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms or appropriate medical documentation is provided. E.g., discharge letter from hospital for recent admission.

Can You Discuss My Medical Certificate With My Employer?
We cannot and will not discuss any details of your medical condition with your employer.
