All practices in New Zealand are required to meet a minimum Standard to gain capitation funding. The only standard in NZ meeting this purpose is the RNZCGP Foundation Standard. As part of being a Pinnacle practice, Pinnacle organise and pay for the Foundation Standard assessment.
Join our monthly 'walk-in' Zoom session, any practice team member can join.
The monthly session will provide you the opportunity to bring any questions you might have around individual indicators and what is needed to meet them. It'll also be an opportunity to learn from other Pinnacle practice colleagues and Pinnacle staff.
