"Our governance model is built through collaboration — every partner practice helps define what great looks like"

Dr Dan Bunstone
Founding Chief Medical Officer

Our Governance Framework 
is built on 5 pillars

We exist to support primary care providers of all shapes and sizes. Working with a qualified, remote workforce enables providers to deliver better care for patients.

GMC-equivalent recruitment process

We have a rigorous recruitment and onboarding process that ensures every Doctor is fully background-checked, trained and ready to deliver high-quality care.

Independent clinical competence verification

We support our doctors from onboarding, through to ongoing development, ensuring they deliver safe, high-quality care.

Patient safety, ensured

Our governance team provides round-the-clock oversight to maintain safety and quality at scale.


Delivered in partnership

We co-develop governance with each partner practice to ensure safe, seamless integration.

Following national guidance

Our doctors are trained and audited to follow NICE guidance. SOPs are adapted to local guidance where requested.

GMC-equivalent recruitment process

Every doctor completes rigorous compliance checks

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.

Patient safety ensured

Safety is central to our model. We review clinical work carefully, maintain transparent reporting and embed learning across the team to support consistently safe care within your practice.

Audits that raise the bar

Your practice gets complete visibility. We start with full 100% auditing, then maintain a rolling 5% review. It’s a rigorous process, designed to give you confidence that every clinician is delivering safe, high-quality care.

Learning in action

We keep things open and honest. Every incident is looked at with care, and the learning is shared so the whole team grows. After your practice signs a doctor off, we’ll keep you updated with regular reports bringing together our 5% audit checks.

Delivered in partnership

No two practices are the same. We recognise that.

We co-create governance with each partner practice to ensure seamless, safe integration. Our governance framework extends beyond clinicians — it’s built in partnership with every practice we support. We work closely with customers to co-design systems that embed safety, transparency and clinical consistency from day one.

Key features

  • Joint SOP creation to define clear, compliant workflows for each practice
  • Bespoke doctor–practice matching to align communication style
  • Initial 100% audit during the pilot phase with structured feedback and sign-off
  • Continuous review of outcomes through regular audits and governance meetings

Collaborative governance

  • Each practice has direct access to our Clinical Operations team for day-to-day support
  • Monthly governance summaries shared with the practice. These report on audit outcomes, safety events and learnings

That is one of the most clear and concise SOPs
I've ever set my eyes on.
