Education and training

Education in geriatric medicine starts in many health professions at undergraduate level. Those who opt to continue to focus on older people's healthcare will have ongoing educational needs throughout their training and career, depending on their role.

The BGS aims to influence and support the delivery of education and training in geriatric medicine at various career stages and across the multidisciplinary team of professionals working with older people. Find out more below.
