Goodfellow Unit

The Goodfellow Unit offers continuing education services to general practitioners, nurses and other professionals in primary health care. We are an independent, dedicated, educational unit housed in the Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, School of Population Health, The University of Auckland.

The future of general practitioners and their colleagues depends on their being able to keep up to date, and also to develop new skills that may lead to specialised qualifications and new opportunities for growth of their practice. We aim to provide such information and services.
