For Nursing Homes
Teleclinic Doctor Service.
Our Teleclinic service is revolutionizing primary care and will provide your residents with better access to doctors more efficiently and more cost effectively.
The core part of the service is our Teleclinic Cart, which is a class 2 medical device, fully certified for medical diagnosis with the highest levels of data security.
We provide you with one of our teleclinic carts on a rental basis, as well as providing your nursing staff with on-site training on how to use the cart.
Our teleclinic doctor service can be provided either on a tele-locum or per consultation basis.
How Our Teleclinic Service Works:

4: Additional Tests Requested in Real Time

Reliable, Responsive, and Experienced Doctor Cover
On-Site Locum Services for Nursing Homes.
With over 20 years of experience, Spectrum Health has been a trusted provider of on-site locum Doctor services for nursing homes across Ireland.
We understand the challenges that care homes face when regular medical staff are unavailable — whether due to holidays, sick leave, increased demand, or unexpected absences. That’s why our Doctor cover is designed to be flexible, fast, and clinically dependable.
Whether you require short-term Doctor cover for a single day or long-term locum placements, we can provide fully vetted, Irish Medical Council-registered doctors to deliver consistent, high-quality care directly at your facility.
Our locum Doctors are experienced in elder care and familiar with the unique clinical and compliance requirements of the nursing home sector.
We pride ourselves on delivering responsive support at competitive rates, ensuring continuity of care for your residents without disruption.
When Is Locum Doctor Cover the Right Solution?​
Our on-site locum doctor service for nursing homes is designed to offer dependable support precisely when your facility needs it most.Â
Planned Doctor Leave – Holidays, Sabbaticals & Study Leave
Doctors, like all healthcare professionals, need time to rest, recharge, or pursue professional development. Whether it’s a pre-booked holiday, extended sabbatical, or academic leave, our locum service ensures your residents continue receiving consistent, high-quality medical care in the Doctor’s absence — with no gaps in service or disruption to clinical routines.​
Emergency Doctor Cover – Unexpected Absences or Sick Leave
Staff illness or personal emergencies can happen at any time, often without warning. With our emergency Doctor cover for nursing homes, we can deploy an experienced locum doctor on short notice, minimising downtime and ensuring your residents’ medical needs are met without delay. We work quickly to source the right doctor for your team and ensure seamless integration into your care setting.​
Seasonal or Temporary Demand Spikes
Flu season, outbreaks, or increased admissions can place significant strain on your existing medical staff. Our Doctor locum support helps nursing homes manage these short-term spikes in workload, ensuring your residents always receive timely medical attention — even during the busiest periods of the year.​
Recruitment Gaps & Transitions in Staff
Whether you’re in the process of hiring a new in-house Doctor or experiencing delays with recruitment, our locum Doctors offer a reliable stopgap solution. Our doctors can cover for weeks or even months, allowing you to maintain continuity of care and meet compliance obligations while you finalise permanent staffing arrangements.
Out-of-Hours Medical Support When You Need It Most
24/7 Doctor On Call Services for Nursing Homes
At Spectrum Health, we understand that medical needs don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule — especially in nursing home environments. That’s why we offer a dedicated 24/7 Doctor On Call service for our nursing home clients. Whether it’s a late-night concern, a weekend emergency, or a bank holiday review, our Irish Medical Council-registered Doctors are available to support your residents — any time, day or night.
This out-of-hours doctor service provides fast, responsive clinical care when your regular Doctor is unavailable. It helps your facility maintain consistent medical coverage, meet regulatory requirements, and prioritise resident well-being.
Our Doctor On Call service for nursing homes in Ireland can be delivered through multiple access points, depending on your facility’s needs:

Empowering healthcare with reliable, expert care. Our teleclinic, locum doctors, and 24/7 on-call services ensure nursing homes receive fast, professional medical support whenever needed. By providing consistent, high-quality care, we help improve patient outcomes, support staff efficiency, and foster a healthier, more compassionate environment for both residents and healthcare teams.
