Doctor consultations provide patients with the opportunity to discuss new or ongoing health concerns with a GP, receive a clinical assessment and examination where appropriate, and agree a personalised management plan.

​

GMS patients

Patients who hold a valid GMS medical card or doctor visit card are entitled to GP consultations free of charge for covered services. This means standard daytime GP visits are provided without a consultation fee at the point of care for eligible card holders.

​

Private patients

Private patients are seen on a fee-paying basis for standard GP consultations. The consultation fee covers the time spent with the doctor, clinical assessment, and any prescriptions, referrals or advice issued during that visit.

​

Review consultations

If a follow‑up review is needed for the same problem within a short period, a reduced consultation fee applies. This reduced review rate is available when patients are re‑assessed within two weeks for the same issue, supporting safe, continuous care while keeping costs manageable.
