June James, Consultant Nurse, Leicester The 5th annual conference of The Foot in Diabetes UK (FDUK) is set to be the most exciting and interactive yet. Based around a series of ‘live’ demonstrations and videos performed by experts in their field, this innovative one-day event will present a practical, hands-on approach aimed at all healthcare professionals involved in caring for people with diabetes-related foot problems.
Live demonstrations will include: an arterial surgical intervention wound debridement in practice casting techniques a video of a person being triaged on admission with an acute foot emergency. The nature of this event reflects FDUK’s active approach to facilitate change in practice-based national guidance, and to support this change by means of robust CPD training packages. We at FDUK hope you will join us in Manchester for a dynamic, interactive and enjoyable learning experience. FDUK Executive Committee
