1. Diabetic foot masterclass
Friday 14 June 2013
Weston Education Centre
Kings College Hospital
London
This conference will focus on the vascularly compromised/ ischaemic patient. The importance
of treating the patient rather than just the foot with the aim of decreasing mortality has been
recognised, therefore we are looking at not only emphasizing the control of the ischaemic
foot/lower limb, but also to stress the control of the other risk factors for ischaemia with a
focus on the mortality of the patient rather than the morbidity of the foot.

2. The Malvern Diabetes Foot Meeting.
The organising Chairmen, Professor Andrew Boulton and Dr Gerry Rayman, were
delighted with the over-whelming attendance at this year’s 14th Malvern Diabetic Foot
Conference held in Malvern, UK from 9th – 11th May 2012 during which they welcomed 250
delegates from around the globe.
The Malvern Diabetic Foot Conference is the longest standing international diabetic foot
meeting held globally every other year. The current Conference will be the 14th meeting
since its inception in 1986. This event brings together experts on the diabetic foot from up to
30 countries, predominantly North America and Western Europe and this meeting will
undoubtedly be as popular as previous ones.
The three day conference is designed to bring together physicians, surgeons, podiatrists,
orthotists and nursing staff with a common interest in diabetic foot problems. To improve our
understanding of this problem which represents one of the main causes for in-patient
treatment amongst the diabetic population.
In 2014 the conference will take place in Malvern on the 14th, 15th, and 16th May 2014.
