History

The Goodfellow Unit, which began in 1978, was initially funded by Mr Douglas Goodfellow, who wished to assist general practice while commemorating the life and work of his father, Sir William Goodfellow, who founded Amalgamated Marketing in 1928.

The Goodfellow Unit operates under a Memorandum of Agreement between the Goodfellow Foundation, The University of Auckland and the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners.
