M

anagement of the diabetic foot takes place in a near vacuum of clinical evidence; in its absence, we rely on common sense, experience and practical guidance. But what are the implications of this approach for the healthcare professional, the health service and the person with diabetes?

This year’s Diabetic Foot Journal Conference will examine national and international guidance on the management of the diabetic foot in community and hospital settings, and question their implications in practice. We hope you will join us for this interactive event that will challenge the boundaries of diabetic foot care in the UK. Co-Chairs: Matthew Young, Consultant Physician, Edinburgh Alistair McInnes, Senior Lecturer in Podiatry, Brighton

This conference is aimed at all healthcare professionals involved in the care of the person with diabetic foot problems: podiatrists, consultants, diabetologists, practice nurses, diabetes specialist nurses, tissue viability nurses, GPs, orthotists and vascular surgeons.
