RNZCUC

General information

The Royal New Zealand College of Urgent Care is a medical college responsible for training doctors in the branch of urgent care.

Urgent care is an independent branch of medicine recognised by the Medical Council of New Zealand. RNZCUC defines urgent care as episodic no-appointments primary care services that are covered by RNZCUC's training programme, and delivered from a RNZCUC-approved urgent care facility.

RNZCUC was initially formed in 1992 by doctors working in community clinics and hospital emergency departments, and in 1995 became an incorporated society, the Accident and Medical Practitioners Association (AMPA). The New Zealand Medical Council recognised Accident and Medical Practice as a branch of medicine in 2000.
In 2011, AMPA changed its name to College of Urgent Care Physicians Incorporated, the branch name to urgent care, and the doctor's designation to urgent care physician. In 2013, by Royal decree, it changed again to Royal New Zealand College of Urgent Care.
