Background: A wide range of formal taught and online professional nursing diploma/degree courses are currently available. In addition nursing education is available in most health care settings but it could be difficult to participate in such training events due to time and service constraints. Populations are ageing worldwide and older people usually have multiple chronic and disabling diseases, which will bring new challenges to healthcare systems. An increasing number of older people are currently being admitted to the acute hospitals and more than two-third is older than 65 years. This requires specialized medical knowledge and enhanced understanding of the ageing process and its associated complications. Aims and objectives: The aim of this review is to discuss the need to implement special education and training programs for nurses and health care support workers to meet current service demands and as a result reduce their stress burden and improved efficiency at work. This review is not for specialist nurses but could support continued learning in key areas needed in the routine care of older people such as falls, incontinence, dementia, delirium, pain and nutrition. Methods: A MedLine review was conducted using search items including nurses training, falls, dementia, delirium, pain, continence, hospitals, acute illness and older people. Specialist websites including Nursing Times, Royal College of Nursing were also searched to complete this review article. The only filters used were English language review articles and research papers. Conclusion: Healthcare needs of older people require a multidisciplinary team approach in which team members should have appropriate knowledge about the ageing process and associated complications. Relevance to clinical practice: Continued training of Health and Social care staff will enhance the quality of care, ensure patient safety and meet the individual needs of older people. The evaluation of such teaching programs could also identify other training areas to deliver safe, holistic, high-quality and dignified care to this growing and vulnerable population.
