The Auckland Faculty of the RNZCGP in conjunction with the Goodfellow Unit.
The day covered a wide range of topics on internal medicine from respiratory to gastroenterology, diabetes to the older persons service, with some cardiology, renal and dermatology thrown in as well!
The emphasis was on what’s new, management tips, and when to refer. The aim was to provide clinical updates and guidance supporting excellence in practice, on topics integral to general practice.
