Join us from Thursday 24 to Saturday 26 July 2025 at Te Pae Convention Centre in Ōtautahi Christchurch for GP25: Conference for General Practice.

This year’s whakataukī was chosen because this is a significant time for health care in New Zealand especially in primary care and rural hospital medicine. Our workforce continues to be a topical issue as does the number of doctors we can attract to train in the profession.

A sense of belonging is a human need that reduces feelings of isolation and stress through connection to others and feeling supported by a larger community. It's what allows us to feel connected to the people and places – our communities – where we spend so much of our time.

The conference programme is being created with GPs’ and rural hospital doctors’ interests and scopes in mind, as well as medical students, registrars and the wider primary health care sector.

Alongside a robust clinical conference programme featuring informative plenary presentations, panel discussions, and practical sessions led by sector experts, there will be a day of hands-on CME/Clinical Skills workshops covering topics like resuscitation, LARC, early detection of melanoma, ingrown toe excision, eardrum examination, cognitive screening, and joint injections – and more. Check back soon for details. Additionally, various social activities will be organised to foster collegiality. Check back soon for more details.

We look forward to welcoming you to GP25 in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

Ngā mihi nui,
