Access vetted, remote GPs with ARRS.
Asterix Doctors are now eligible for ARRS funding. Make your allocation go further using our highly-qualified, GMC-registered workforce.
Asterix complies with ARRS funding requirements to provide remote GPs at a fraction of the cost.
Our remote GPs are dedicated to your local ways of working and work according to tailored SOPs that transform how practices operate.
Funded by ARRS
Our doctors are fully compatible with ARRS funding, meaning your PCN can deploy our remote GPs at significantly reduced net cost.
A range of workstreams
We support across a range of clinical workstreams, like abnormal labs filing, documents processing, and triage.
Reduce operational overhead
The full-service model manages payroll, scheduling, CPD, appraisal, first-line support and more. That's even more time saved.
Customer testimonials
This is what a modern primary care workforce looks like.
We exist to support primary care providers of all shapes and sizes. By working with highly-qualified, GMC-registered doctors in clinical admin work, providers can free up 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
Whether you're managing 2 practices or 12, our model scales with your network - no recruitment, no desk space, no disruption.
Works in your existing systems
