Faculties and chapters
All College members automatically belong to a regional Faculty – a group of local peers who organise social and learning events to nurture collegiality amongst specialist GPs and rural hospital doctors. Read more about our Faculties.
Chapters are a group of members with like-minded interests or associations that bring them together for a common cause. There are four Chapters:
- Pacific Chapter
- Registrars’ Chapter
- Rural General Practitioners’ Chapter
- The Division of Rural Hospital Medicine
College conference
GP26: Conference for General Practice will take place Thursday 30 July to Saturday 1 August at the New Zealand International Convention Centre 2026 in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
