Recorded on 10 April 2024 at the Royal Society of Medicine.
1 in 2 people with diabetes are likely to be affected by peripheral neuropathy during their lifetime. It impacts on mobility, causes chronic pain and increases the risk of infection, as well as costing the NHS £252 million each year.
This masterclass focused on key aspects of diabetic neuropathy including introducing new diagnostic tests, emphasising early intervention benefits, exploring novel pain management strategies, and best practices for foot ulcer management.
This inclusive approach empowers individuals with diabetes and neuropathy to better manage their condition, contributing to collective efforts in reducing the impact on both individuals and healthcare systems. Creating a platform for attendees to connect, and network with peers, healthcare professionals and researchers, leading to the sharing of best practices and access to support networks.
This was our third clinical masterclass on the topic of painful neuropathies.
We would like to thank the Alan and Sheila Diamond Charitable Trust for its generous support enabling free access to this event
