The UK Diabetic Foot Congress brings together leading clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share the latest insights, evidence, and innovations in diabetic foot care. Through a packed programme of lectures, panel discussions, and debates, the event explores national perspectives on diabetic foot disease, holistic approaches to care, health inequalities, and the economic burden of complications.
Sessions cover a wide range of critical topics, including wound healing, vascular interventions, osteomyelitis, Charcot foot, orthopaedic strategies, and the psychological aspects of diabetes. With contributions from internationally renowned experts and interactive discussions such as the “If I were Health Minister” debate and the Congress Parliament, the congress fosters collaboration and practical solutions aimed at improving outcomes and reducing inequalities in diabetic foot care.
