In May 2010 the <strong>College</strong> signed a memorandum of<br />
understanding with Health Work<strong>for</strong>ce <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> and the<br />
Medical Council of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> to review general practice<br />
training and implement changes to the current programme<br />
to meet emerging health work<strong>for</strong>ce requirements. <strong>The</strong><br />
three partners recognised that how we trained general<br />
practitioners needed to evolve to better meet the needs of<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>’s aging population, the requirement <strong>for</strong> more<br />
complex care to be provided by general practitioners and<br />
the need <strong>for</strong> stronger relationships to be <strong>for</strong>med between<br />
primary and secondary services.<br />
Thirty-one curriculum statements have been developed<br />
to reflect the scope of general practice in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>.<br />
A number of themes are reflected throughout the<br />
curriculum and include:<br />
• Māori health<br />
• rural health<br />
• disability<br />
• prescribing<br />
• multiculturalism<br />
<strong>The</strong> curriculum statements are indicative of what is current<br />
and offer a vision <strong>for</strong> the future. <strong>The</strong>y provide a base from<br />
which new concepts and structures will grow. <strong>The</strong> three key<br />
concepts of general practice have been applied – personcenteredness,<br />
generalism and evidence.<br />
