| Annotation | This publication contains the proceedings of the National Conference on Training and Qualifications for Work with Older people, held at Exeter University in March 1998 and jointly organised by Age Concern England and the Postgraduate Medical School of Exeter University. The conference focused on fifteen proposals for improving training and qualifications for working with older people. Topics covered include: medical education; social workers and social care staff; recreation and informal education; nursing; dentistry; training and qualifications in Age Concern organisations; and the French system of education and training in gerontology. The proceedings conclude with recommendations for professional bodies, the training and qualification agencies, and those responsible for policy and financing to review their current practices in light of the inventory report.
