The annual courses will be based on the knowledge and structure of treatment offered by the specialised diabetic foot clinic at the University Hospital of Pisa.
By combining lectures from different specialists and individual training in the clinic, course participants will gain insight in both the theory of the field and the practical methods used in the clinic.
As an addition to the previous Italian course, the international courses will focus on the structure of treatment and guidelines for establishing a diabetic foot clinic. Thereby, the courses reach out to clinicians as well as hospital department or clinic management.
By offering the courses to an international audience, the organisers aim to support the implementation of the European consensus on treatment of the diabetic foot, based on the existing guidelines. The courses will be used as a basis for building up an international educational network within the area and for raising political awareness of the challenges related to treatment and prevention of the diabetic foot.
