The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists (ASMS) unites salaried doctors and dentists.
It is our professional association and union.
ASMS works for better health care in New Zealand, and for recognition of the expertise and professional voice of our members. ASMS assures the right of our members to speak on
professional issues, without interference from employers. ASMS lobbies actively for a high quality public health system.
Membership is open to any doctor or dentist who is an employee (the main exceptions are resident medical officers and doctors employed by universities).
ASMS: A Professional Association
As a professional association we promote:
- right of equal access for all New Zealanders to high quality health services
- professional interests of salaried doctors and dentists
- policies sought in legislation and government by salaried doctors and dentists
ASMS: A Professional Union
As a union of professionals we:
- provide advice to salaried doctors and dentists who receive a job offer from a New Zealand employer
- negotiate effective and enforceable collective employment agreements with employers. This includes the collective agreement (MECA) covering employment of senior medical and dental staff in district health boards which ensures minimum terms and conditions for more than 2,700 doctors and dentists, over 90% of this workforce.
- advise and represent members when necessary
- support workplace empowerment and clinical leadership
