The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners

Committees often require a GP to represent a general practice point of view on the specific issues they are involved in. Representatives usually meet with their committee either in person or via teleconference up to three or four times a year depending on the objectives of the committee.

Involvement in these committees provides members with a great opportunity to represent the College and general practice. Committee members have the opportunity to be involved in key health discussions and contribute to different initiatives, as well as meeting health professionals within the sector with similar interests. You can view a full list of health advisory and regulatory groups which include members representing the College in the 'Committees with College Representation' document below.

If you have a specific interest or expertise in a certain area of health, please register your professional interests so we can contact you if anything suitable arises.

For more information please refer to the 'Information for College Representatives' document below or contact the Policy Team.
