Online prescription requests

We accept online requests for repeat prescriptions only from those patients who are already registered and attending a doctor at Charlestown Medical Centre.


Your prescription request will be analysed by the prescribing doctor who may or not issue it for you (depending on your current health status). 


The receptionists will get in contact with you as soon a decision has been made and will also advise you when your prescription is ready for collection. All prescriptions requested online will be available for collection from the reception desk at Charlestown Medical Centre.

Out of hours medical consultations

In case you need to see a GP from 7:30pm to 8:00am or on Saturdays and Sundays outside the surgery opening hours and for a serious health problem that, in your own opinion, cannot wait until the next day, please call Doctor on Duty (former Mediserve) at 01-420 0880 (details at https://www.doctoronduty.ie/). If your medical condition requires immediate attention, please attend your nearest Emergency Department.

Useful info about getting an appointment

We also thought the following might be of help for you regarding the appointments:
  • the quickest way to find out if the health professional you are looking for is available to see you on the requested date and time is to ring the Reception at 01-5079190 (only within the working hours. See Location & Hours page for details). In case the phone may be busy and you can't get through, please use one of the alternative ways of contact below
  • the most complete way to book an appointment is by using the Appointment Forms below; it gives the health professional a better insight of your current health status (if you are a new patient) and it saves time during the consultation; our receptionists will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm the appointment (if during the opening hours).
  • a text message requesting an appointment should contain your full name, your date of birth, the preferred date and time for the appointment; our receptionists will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm the appointment (if during the opening hours).
  • writing an email message to request an appointment should follow the same guidelines recommended in case of a text message (SMS); you will be contacted by our receptionists as soon as possible to confirm the booking (if during the opening hours).

Important Notes:
  1. Should you prefer to be contacted in a specific way (text message/email/telephone) don't forget to mention it and please include the necessary contact details in your message.
  2. In case you will not be able to attend your consultation in time or at all, please advise this to the receptionists by phone/text message/email at least 1 hour in advance; failure to do so will possibly result in a charge of €20 (we are trying to avoid not being able to offer the respective consultation to an other patient who might need it as well).
  3. An appointment with the GP or Nurse is usually allocated 10 - 15 minutes and 20 - 45 minutes with the Dentist.
  4. If you would like to bring other family members with you for a consultation, each of them should be individually booked-in in advance, too.
  5. When you arrive for your consultation, please notify your presence to the receptionist at the reception desk.
  6. Please be aware that any inappropriate behaviour (verbal and/or physical aggressivity, injurious vocabulary, ebrious or post illegal drugs ingestion states, leaving without paying, a.s.o.) within the premises of the medical & dental centre will result in the immediate and permanent removal of the respective patient from our lists/panels and the case will be reported to An Garda Siochana and the H.S.E. (when applicable).
