Role Description

As Fractional UK Medical Lead at Aios (powering Bolt Pharmacy), your fundamental role is to build and scale a prescribing model for our medic team that is safe, compliant, and commercially strong.

• You're an obesity management/endocrinology specialist and use your deep expertise to build and own the clinical logic behind the system.
• While you won’t manage the medic team directly, you’ll help shape the standards they operate within:
• Contributing to governance and audits
• Reviewing edge cases
• Strengthening safety frameworks so quality remains painfully high as volume increases
• Stellar performance in this role means the medic team scales compliantly without breaking.
• Patients move through care smoothly and the system you build supports growth.

• This is a senior role, part-time and fully remote (based in the UK).

Key Responsibilities

• Safe, high-quality patient consultations
• Deliver and oversee asynchronous and synchronous consultations with high documentation standards
• Support patients who need more complex GLP-1 management
• Build the frameworks and escalation routes to help clinicians make confident decisions in complex cases
• Support audits and edge case reviews, ensuring standards hold as volume grows
• Own off-licence GLP-1 protocols
• Ensure protocols are compliant, defensible, and effective
• Stay current with emerging evidence and update protocols accordingly
• Continuously improve protocols using real data

Qualifications

• UK medical licence: You understand prescribing within a UK private/CQC context and maintain an active licence to practice.
• Clinical background and expertise: Experience in weight management or metabolic health with familiarity with GLP-1 receptor agonists.
• Telehealth experience: Understanding of remote prescribing in practice (both asynchronous & synchronous).
• Frontier awareness: Actively track emerging evidence, new treatments, and evolving best practices.
• Clinical judgement at scale: Comfortable owning, making, and refining clinical decisions that apply across large patient populations.
• Governance exposure: Involvement in audits, protocol reviews, and clinical decision frameworks.
• Speed + pragmatism: Ability to make clear, confident decisions rooted in deep expertise.
• Patient-centric: Understanding how protocol-design decisions impact scalability and the overall patient experience.

Nice to Have

• Off-licence GLP-1 protocol design: Experience in designing off-licence prescribing protocols.
• CQC / regulated telehealth leadership: Leadership experience within UK private care frameworks.
• Product-minded clinician: Experience working with product/engineering teams to turn logic into software.
• Startup pace: Experience in high-velocity environments where priorities shift often.

• Unwavering integrity: Maintain impeccable ethics and integrity.
• Only the paranoid survive: Embrace challenges with conviction.
• If we’re average we fail: Focus on excellence and reject incompetence.
