- Care of older persons in community and primary care differs substantially between European countries, but most countries pursue the concept of “ageing in place”, meaning that most older people do not live in institutions. More and more older people are living alone. Relatives still play an important role in the care of older people, but it differs substantially within Europe, and will probably remain the case even in the future. Care of older people with complex needs requires corresponding complex teams to be able to provide adequate and good quality of care, which means that there must be geriatric skills to diagnose, treat, and comprehensively follow up people with common geriatric diseases, including dementia, within primary and community care. Specially designed structures within primary and community care should work proactively to take care of older people as many do not and cannot seek care appropriately. One of the reasons for this is cognitive decline.

- Background: the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS-GMS) recommendations for training in Geriatric Medicine were published in 1993. The practice of Geriatric Medicine has developed considerably since then and it has therefore become necessary to update these recommendations.Methods: under the auspices of the UEMS-GMS, the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) and the European Academy of Medicine of Ageing (EAMA), a group of experts, representing all member states of the respective bodies developed a new framework for education and training of specialists in Geriatric Medicine using a modified Delphi technique. Thirty-two expert panel members from 30 different countries participated in the process comprising three Delphi rounds for consensus. The process was led by five facilitators.Results: the final recommendations include four different domains: 'General Considerations' on the structure and aim of the syllabus as well as quality indicators for training (6 sub-items), 'Knowledge in patient care' (36 sub-items), 'Additional Skills and Attitude required for a Geriatrician' (9 sub-items) and a domain on 'Assessment of postgraduate education: which items are important for the transnational comparison process' (1 item).Conclusion: the current publication describes the development of the new recommendations endorsed by UEMS-GMS, EuGMS and EAMA as minimum training requirements to become a geriatrician at specialist level in EU member states.
