- Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners
The Royal New Zealand College Of General Practitioners is the professional body for General Practitioners in New Zealand.
The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners is responsible for maintaining standards for quality clinical practice, education and training, and research in New Zealand general practice. Full Membership and Fellowship is attainable only by examination and assessment. Associate membership therefore carries no implication of academic or professional achievement or status. Fellowship of the College is attained by completing the two-stage General Practice Education Programme, passing Primex at the end of Stage 1, and the Fellowship Assessment in Stage 2. Fellows have full voting rights and have the privilege of the floor at general meetings. They may also hold any office within the College. Fellows are entitled to use the designation "FRNZCGP".
The College has approximately 3500 members, representing around 95 percent of all general practitioners in New Zealand. This provides it with a strong mandate to speak and act on behalf of the profession.
