Dear Colleagues
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us to the 1st Annual Joint Meeting of the Hellenic Association for the Study of Diabetic Foot Diseases (EMEDIP) and the Multidisciplinary European Endovascular Therapy (MEET). The Meeting will be held in Porto Heli, Peloponnese, Greece, 7-10 July 2011. This meeting is unique in the way it brings together specialists involved in the care of persons with diabetes, suffering from Diabetic Foot Diseases. This fact creates an environment in which all the aspects and hot topics in the abovementioned field will be presented and analyzed by the eminent speakers.
Since atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease with the infection is a major factor in the pathology and progression of diabetic foot, special sessions will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of Foot Ischemia of both infected and non infected leg. Apart from the numerous plenary lectures, other review sessions and interactive workshops from renowned scientists have been integrated in the programme and will cover all of the other aspects, from the epidemiology and burden of diabetic foot related problems, to the treatment and
rehabilitation.
The vivid exchange of knowledge of all the specialities involved and participating in this Meeting, introducing the concept of the multidisciplinary team approach to the diabetic foot care, will be further established by the discussion of the current status of clinical and basic research, presented orally or in the form of posters by the attendees.
We hope that we will have the opportunity to welcoming you at the excellent seaside resort of Porto-Heli, for the 1st Annual Joint Meeting of our Associations and enjoy with you an
excellent scientific event.
For the Organizing Committee
Chr. Manes P. Bergeron D. Raithel
