The Steering Committee of the Nordic Diabetic Foot Task Force will undertake the overall strategic planning and prioritisation for the Nordic Diabetic Foot Task Force. 

The biennial Nordic Diabetic Foot Symposium will be a forum for sharing knowledge about best practices and thus aid in promoting the implementation of guidelines. The symposium will thus provide an important tool for achieving the main objective of the Nordic Diabetic Foot Task Force.
