Let's talk content...

Our goal is to not only deliver the latest in diabetic foot disease research and clinical translation from around the globe, but also have a clear focus on what's happening in our own backyard. At DFA 2019, we’re combining key elements of the 2019 International Symposium on the Diabetic Foot with a down under practical focus. Our workshop sessions will incorporate case studies, “what’s new” in practice and an interactive back-to-basics approach, all designed to spark interesting conversation from all perspectives. By the end of the two days, our aim is that you leave inspired, with practical information that can be used in your day-to-day practice.
