ABOUT
13TH KING’S INTERNATIONAL DIABETIC FOOT SUMMIT 2027
Now in its 13th edition, the King’s International Diabetic Foot Summit brings together leading clinicians and healthcare professionals from the UK and around the world to share knowledge, experience and best practice in diabetic foot care. With the prevention of avoidable amputations remaining a major clinical priority, the Summit provides an important forum for collaboration, discussion and advancing care for people living with diabetic foot disease.
PROGRAMME
The 2027 programme will be centred around the Four Pillars of Limb Preservation, bringing together leading experts to explore the latest approaches, techniques and evidence across Charcot Reconstruction, Ultra-distal Bypass, Tibial Bone Transport and Multidisciplinary Podiatric Care. Through expert presentations, case-based discussions and shared clinical experience, the programme will focus on how these four key areas can work together to improve outcomes, preserve limbs and support the ongoing mission of No More Preventable Amputations.
