The 2010 RNZCGP Quality Symposium in Wellington February 12-13 was attended by more than 220 key primary care stakeholders. Work led by the College on the development of a quality framework and indicators for New Zealand primary care was showcased. This work was supported by British Kings’ Fund experts Nick Goodwin and Candace Imison and Royal Australian College of GPs President Dr Chris Mitchell who usefully compared with, and discussed, the local quality work with what is being done in the UK and Australia. Goodwin and Imison pointed out that New Zealand can be very proud of its record: “New Zealand already punches above its weight in delivering high quality primary care services with limited resources.”
