Book Reviews

We publish reviews of books written by NZ authors relating to primary health care topics. Authors of such books are invited to arrange for their publisher to forward a copy to the Editorial Office of the RNZCGP, Level 3, 88 The Terrace, PO Box 10440, Wellington 6143 or to email the Editor at editor@rnzcgp.org.nz to discuss whether a book is eligible for review.

Reviews are generally 250 to 500 words and the invited reviewer can keep the book. The following can be used as a template for the review: <Title, authors, publisher, place of publication, date, number of pages>Reviewed by <name, qualifications, position(s)>
