The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners

The Consensus Statement, endorsed by unions, business groups, medical and allied health professionals, government authorities and other stakeholders, fulfils a recommendation of the AFOEM's position statement, 'Realising the health benefits of work', which presents compelling that work is generally good for health and wellbeing, and that long term work absence, work disability and unemployment generally have a negative impact on health and wellbeing.

RNZCGP has agreed to endorse the statement and College President Dr Harry Pert will attend the launch as a signatory.
