Congratulations 2021 RNZCGP award winners

At GP21: the Conference for General Practice held over the weekend (6-8 August), RNZCGP (the College) celebrated outstanding GPs throughout Aotearoa. 

College Awards recognise the hard work and dedication of exceptional general practitioners and community members. Among the winners were two of our members - congratulations Dr Peter Fleischl and Dr Mark Taylor!

Dr Peter Fleischl (Taupō Health Centre) was awarded Distinguished Fellowship, highlighting his 30-year dedication to the Taupō community and his leadership roles within the College.

Dr Mark Taylor (South City Health) received a Community Service Medal for his outstanding contribution to his community – of particular note was his instrumental in working with Waikato DHB to ensure his community had the appropriate access to chest x-rays and ultrasounds so that investigations could be made in a timely manner.

Dr Samantha Murton, president of the College says, "The College award ceremony is definitely a perk of the job. It gives me great joy to shake the hands of these exceptional GPs and say thank you for the work they are doing for their communities, the College and the GP workforce".
