Setting up a new general practice
Are you looking to set up a new general practice?
If so, we would recommend that you contact The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. Their contact details are as follows:
Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners
PO Box 10440
Wellington 6143
Phone (04) 496 5999
www.rnzcgp.org.nz
The other option would be to contact the primary health organisation (PHO) that operates in the geographical area where you intend to start your practice.
Once the practice has been set up, the Medical Council of New Zealand can provide resources on various issues relating to good medical practice.
