Asterix Health

Come say hi if you're at Pulse PCN Birmingham today! Julian Titz, Harriet Bradley, and Ethan Andrews at stand P5 and talking at 13:20 in the PCN stream 👋

The Asterix Health team are heading to Birmingham next week! On Tuesday, we will be at stand 17 at Management in Practice Birmingham, and Harriet Bradley and Prash Thurairatnam MBA (Managing Director, Tudor Lodge Health Centre) are going to be giving a talk at 13:55. Come say hello if you're around! And then on Wednesday, we will be at stand P5 at Pulse PCN Birmingham, and Harriet Bradley and Julian Titz will be giving a talk at 13:20 on the main stage. Both of the talks are about modern workforce strategies to meet demand: we'll be sharing lessons and insights from GP practices on innovative ways to think about staffing. We're then going to be at NHS ConfedExpo in Manchester on Wednesday and Thursday as well. We can't wait to see some new and familiar faces alike - drop us a message if you'll be attending either. 👋

💥 We're excited to share that Dr Harriet Bradley joins Asterix Health as Medical Director. In this role, Harriet will lead our clinical strategy, governance, and service delivery as we scale to support more NHS practices nationally. Harriet brings a wealth of experience to Asterix, having spent the last decade in senior clinical leadership roles across both the NHS and private sector. She joined Livi UK in 2019 as Medical Director, later also taking on the Director of Commercial Operations role. Under her clinical leadership, Livi grew to serve 11 million patients nationally and became the first digital healthcare provider in the UK to receive an Outstanding rating from the CQC. Most recently, Harriet was Medical Director at GP Pathfinder Clinics, where she oversaw growth from 80,000 to over 120,000 registered patients. Before that, Harriet worked at Virgin Care as a clinical bid director, leading local engagement across complex NHS contracts. Harriet is a Sloan Programme graduate from London Business School, and continues to work with senior business students there on healthcare transformation.

We're excited to be sponsoring Primary Care Partnership Network (PCPN) this week! Professor Mike Bewick, Julian Titz, and Ethan Andrews will be there across the two days. Let us know if you'll be attending, and want to talk about how we can help with clinical work streams like abnormal labs management, documents, and acute consultations. #PrimaryCare #NHS #PCPN2026

Announcing our oversubscribed £2.1M pre-seed round, led by TriplePoint VC, with participation from D2 Fund, DLBVentures, Entrepreneurs First, Basis Capital and an incredible group of angels. Since 2015, the number of patients per fully qualified GP has risen by 15% (RCGP), while 2 in 3 doctors say they have considered working abroad (GMC). Asterix is the first and only company approved under new NHS regulation to hire GMC-registered GPs based abroad. Today, Asterix GPs support practices serving 250,000 patients with time-consuming clinical admin and telephone consultation tasks, via our proprietary DoctorOS platform. This funding will be used to accelerate onboarding of new NHS practices and expand Asterix's network of remote GMC-registered GPs, including NHS-trained doctors who are eager to return to frontline care from abroad.

We're excited to share our first case study - a reflection of what's possible when the right clinical resource is applied to the right problem. Tudor Lodge Health Centre is a well-run, forward-thinking practice. The challenge of abnormal test management wasn't a sign of poor operations; it's a structural issue affecting practices across the country. What Prash's experience shows is how much capacity can be unlocked when that problem is owned end-to-end by qualified doctors. Full write-up in the comments, including the implementation detail and what the practice is exploring next.

💥 We’re excited to share that Professor Mike Bewick joins Asterix Health as Strategic Medical Lead. In this role, we look forward to working with Mike as he strengthens our governance foundations and helps us improve our end-to-end accreditation processes. He will work with the team as we launch new customers in this next stage of growth. Mike brings a wealth of experience to Asterix, having worked as Deputy Medical Director responsible for Primary Care at NHS England, as well as working as a GP and GP Partner for 20+ Years. At NHS England he oversaw the implementation of the Revalidation Programme for doctors, and was the Senior Responsible Officer for all GPs nationally. During his tenure with the Royal College of General Practitioners, Mike led the launch of the single-route MRCGP assessment for new GPs. Mike has held senior positions in strategy development and commissioning in primary and secondary care, as well as the development of UCLan digital health courses.

💥 I'm looking for a Founder's Associate at Asterix Health. This is a role for someone who wants to do meaningful work with an eye to building their own company one day. 👇 You'll work closely with me across all things GTM, Sales and BizOps. I expect you to context-switch and own projects from day 1. The scope of the role will expand. No two days will be the same, and every single day matters because we are working on the biggest problem in healthcare: the shortage of qualified doctors. 📍 We're in-person by design, working from a new space in Shoreditch. This sort of role brought me into Startupland in the first place. Asymmetric career upside and the opportunity to have way more responsibility than you would traditionally have anywhere else. I know I benefitted massively from an opportunity like this. If you're ambitious, hands-on and want to see what it actually takes to build a company, I'd love to chat. Apply below. Tagging a few people who have given me asymmetric opportunities in the past (thanks!) :) Max Thilo Daniel Schulte-Hillen Kitty Mayo Jonny Clifford Matt Clifford Valerio Siviero zoran kokolanski Olivia Hupfeld Alaister Mortlock Tim Hermes David Rizor Joe Mcilwaine Ross Dyer-Smith #hiring #healthtech #nhs #startup
