What We Can Provide

At Webdoctor.ie, our GPs are on hand to provide medical certificates or sick notes if you are deemed medically suitable. 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.

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

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)

Important Medical Information

When Do I Need A Medical Certificate?
To be eligible for statutory sick pay, you must be certified by a doctor as being unable to work. You should be certified from the first day of your sick leave.

Some employers will request a medical note after two days of illness.

Will My Employer Accept A Medical Certificate From Webdoctor.ie?
Your employer will have their own policy on sick leave and medical certificates, thus we cannot guarantee acceptance or influence their choice.
Can You Discuss My Medical Certificate With My Employer?
No, your cert will not be discussed with your employer without your prior permission. Even then we will only confirm that we have issued the cert and confirm the dates for which it is issued.

We cannot and will not discuss any details of your medical condition with your employer.

If your employer has a query about the nature of the illness they should discuss this with you first.

If necessary, your employer may request you attend an independent Occupational Health Specialist. They can discuss with you what is to be included in the report, and any medical information can only be provided with your permission.
