Dietary Management of Inherited Metabolic Disorders Conference 2025

When: Thursday 10th April 2025

Where: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole St, London, W1G 0AE

The Dietary Management of Inherited Metabolic Disorders (DMIMD) conference provides an invaluable opportunity for the exchange of ideas into the latest developments in the dietary management of inherited metabolic disorders. As well as the highly regarded scientific content, one of the key focuses of the meeting is to provide practical advice and means to implement what has been shared and learnt. Social and clinical research in Inherited Metabolic Disorders are continually demonstrating ways to better understand and reduce the impact of the disease on the lives of these patients and their families.

The DMIMD 2025 program is being developed in conjunction with healthcare professionals and aims to continue to build on the expertise shared over the last 39 years of this conference. The aims of this annual conference are to review and discuss key research, guidelines and clinical perspectives in the field of Inherited Metabolic Disorders, and to provide participants with practical solutions for improving patient management in their daily clinical practice from interactive workshops.

DMIMD 2025 is accredited for 7 CPD Credits by the Royal College of Pathologists.
