The population of those over the age of 65 continues to grow. This cohort is one of the largest consumers of health care and presents with some unique needs and challenges.

Compared to younger cohorts older adults spend more time in the ED, require more diagnostic tests and are more often admitted and held in the ED until an inpatient bed becomes available.

Adult educators have been identified in the academic and policy literature as crucial to the success of national and regional strategies to deliver quality teaching to adult learners who require new knowledge and skills to meet changing social and economic needs. However, the majority of adult educators are part time practitioners who frequently lack any formal training or specialized expertise for teaching adults (Andersson, Köpsén, Larson and Milana, 2012; Jarvis, 2004).
