News: Asterix GPs can now be funded using ARRS. Learn more →

Hey, we're Asterix

We're redefining how modern healthcare is delivered by enabling highly-qualified doctors with best-in-class tech. Pretty exciting, dare we say!

Why are we working on this?

We're mission-driven and we care about what we do.

We're solving the biggest problem in healthcare: the lack of qualified doctors.

Millions of patients can't get an appointment with their GP, and millions more are stuck on hospital waitlists. Patients suffer from preventable conditions that could have been caught and proactively managed. It's no longer good enough.

At Asterix we're pioneering a new model of care where qualified international doctors work remotely to support UK healthcare providers, starting with GP practices. Our novel approach is enabled by new regulation, and we are the only company in the UK approved to use it.

At the same time we're building our DoctorOS platform, which makes our doctors far more productive than a traditional doctor by automating the busywork.

We're backed by Entrepreneur First and just closed an oversubscribed funding round with top-tier investors + incredible angels. More soon 🤫
