Asterix GPs file and action abnormal labs, at a fraction of the cost

Our remote GPs are dedicated to your practice and manage abnormal labs according to tailored SOPs that transform how your practice operates and free up local GP time.

Tailored to your practice

Each practice is different. We work with your team to define clear SOP detailing the filing process, referral pathways, escalation routes and more.

End-to-end ownership

Our doctors own each test result end-to-end, including actioning, text messages, prescriptions and phone callbacks where appropriate.

Fully managed service

We reduce your operational overhead by managing payroll, scheduling, CPD, appraisal, revalidation, first-line support and more.

This is what a modern primary care workforce looks like.

By working with highly-qualified, GMC-registered doctors on abnormal labs and clinical admin, practices free up the time of in-practice GPs to deliver better care for patients.

Always-on clinical governance

Led by our Chief Medical Officer Dr Dan Bunstone, every consultation meets the same clinical standards you'd expect in-house. We support you to manage clinical training and audits.

GMC-registered doctors

Every doctor is vetted through clinical assessment before joining. They complete annual appraisals and NHS England-led revalidation, just like a UK-based GP.

Designed to add capacity

No recruitment, no desk space, no disruption. Our fully-managed service exists to create additional GP-led capacity without the operational headache.

Works in your existing systems

We go the extra mile to keep patients & doctors safe

Doctors train within real NHS primary care environments whilst being supported by Asterix’s clinical operations teams during sessions. This hands-on structure ensures safety, system familiarity and clinical readiness before deployment to partner practices.

Our doctors file and action all test results that are sent to the practice for review, including scans.
