The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners is the largest medical college in New Zealand. We have around 5,500 members, who represent close to 90 percent of the country’s GPs. 

The College's overall goal to improve the health of New Zealanders through high quality general practice care. We do this by providing training, ongoing education, research, advocacy and support for general practitioners and and rural hospital generalists.  We also set standards (CORNERSTONE accreditation) for general practices across the country. 

The College has a commitment to embed the three principles (participation, partnership and protection) of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) across its work, and to achieving health equity in New Zealand.
