A group of academics has developed a article titled "Aging, the subject was forgotten in the English university: The iceberg of a type of negligence?" we read in the number 1, volume 22, issue Gerokomos. In the introduction, concern that much of the professional activities that develop many of the graduates performed on the elderly and relate to the possibility of exercising these elderly abuse or neglect by inexperience due to lack of knowledge or specific training for graduates during their stay in college.
The study aims to determine whether in English universities offer courses related to aging.
The results show that only on the qualifications of Nursing and Occupational Therapy in all universities, there is a course on aging. On the other degrees, is varied from 39% in medicine, 22% in Psychology, Physiotherapy 13% and 4% in CC of Physical Activity and Sport. Social Work there is no course that meets the criteria set
Some thoughts we can do after reading this work is that after 80 years of the onset of gerontology and geriatric activities in Spain with the creation of the first Service geriatrics in Barcelona, \u200b\u200b64 years after the first Chair of Geriatrics of Spain and Europe led by Professor Beltrán Báguena, 60 years after the founding of the English Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology , and 33 years of recognition of the specialty of geriatrics , have a long way to go training and development of our specialty in society in general and academics in particular.
