XIIth International Primary Care Diabetes Europe Conference

The organizing committee of the XIIth International Primary Care Diabetes Europe Conference is pleased to announce that this meeting will take place in Barcelona, 26 & 27 October 2012.

We have the pleasure to invite you to attend this meeting, organized by Primary Care Diabetes Europe – PCDE. This meeting enjoys the support of major professional organizations in the field.

The scope of the meeting comprises a broad range of topics about various aspects of cure and care for people living with diabetes, relevant for all primary health care practitioners and will present an opportunity to share and discuss the latest state of the art knowledge in the field.

The scientific programme will feature keynote lectures, state of the art sessions and workshops from international experts addressing topics such as the diabetes epidemic, prevention, lifestyle change, diabetic foot, cardio-metabolic risk, treatment guidelines as well as novel therapies. In a special “rising star session” a young promising researcher will have the opportunity to present his work, while the 4th “Paul Cromme lecture” will honour a European primary care celebrity, active in the diabetes field.

Participants will have the opportunity to present and share their research results during interactive and guided poster sessions while the top 5 selected posters will be presented in a plenary session as well.

The venue of this meeting will be the magnificent Casa Convalescencia. This modernistic building located within the campus of the “Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul” and under directory of the Autonomic University of Barcelona, is a magnificent place where science and medicine meet since ages.

The organizing committee is looking forward to welcome you to the XIIth International Primary Care Diabetes Conference in Barcelona in 2012.

Yours Sincerely,

Prof. Johan Wens
