The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners trains doctors to become specialists in general practice and rural hospital medicine. We champion the highest standards of safe and equitable patient care by supporting and being the voice of our 6,000 members throughout their careers.

The BMJ is defined by its mission: to work towards a healthier world for all. We share that global endeavour with millions of readers working in clinical practice, research, education, government, and with patients and the public too.

This mission defines us, far more than the format of our content. After nearly 180 years, our print edition still thrives, and has been joined by podcast, video, tweet, app, website and live events. But, as each of these formats gains ground or declines in importance, the things The BMJ cares about will endure:

• Improving the creation and dissemination of research evidence
• Improving clinical education and practice
• Advocating for universal, equitable, high quality healthcare
• Championing the health and wellbeing of doctors
• Improving the social and environmental determinants of health

While pursuing these goals, we commit to partnering with patients and the public to ensure their best interests are served; and to being as transparent and accountable as possible in everything we do.

The BMJ can be many things to its diverse audiences: an international research journal, a member magazine, a think tank, an investigative campaigner, an educational resource, even a trusted and inspiring friend. Whatever The BMJ means to you, we invite you to share our mission and join us in working towards a healthier world for all.

One of the guiding principles of The New Zealand Health Strategy is equitable access for all New Zealanders to a comprehensive range of health and disability services. With more than 850,000 people living and working in rural areas, the services we provide on the Mobile Surgical Unit – Te Waka Hauora are clearly focussed on ensuring these patients are treated where they live and work. Our promise is to deliver a safe, friendly and quality-driven service.

With 25 years under our belt, we understand the demands of healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand. That’s why we’re going beyond offering world-class indemnity insurance to actively protect your wellbeing – so when you’re looking after patients, we’re looking out for you. We’re here to be more than your insurer. We’re your partner. With NZMII, we believe in having your back, so you have the confidence to practice at your best from your first lecture to your last patient.

RMSANZ is a membership society for professionals in the rehabilitation profession throughout Australia and New Zealand, committed to improving the quality of care of persons with impairment and disability.
