With our ageing population there is increased recognition of the needs of older adults with frailty within health systems. The UKs Health Service Journal reported in 2015 that older adults with frailty, dementia and multiple co-morbidities are now “core business” in all health and social care settings. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is an evidence-based model of care that delivers better outcomes for older adults with frailty and which mandates a multidimensional and interprofessional approach. All healthcare professionals require the core skills to deliver CGA to keep pace with the growing prevalence of frailty in all care sectors. This will require competencies in interprofessional working best attained through interprofessional learning. Further international emphasis on interprofessional working has been stressed by the World Health Organisation in their publication “Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice”.This symposium presents recent advances in interprofessional geriatric medicine education in Europe including both policy and curriculum development in addition to novel approaches in interdisciplinary teaching. The subject areas cover both undergraduate and postgraduate arenas and include reference to patient and public partners and involvement of patients within educational programs.
