Optimal nutritional therapy in patients with burns: from theory to practice
Thursday 8th of September 2022, 8.30-10:00 AM
Why attend this workshop?
Nutritional therapy is an essential part of the multidisciplinary burn treatment.
In fact, burns induce a hypermetabolic, inflammatory and catabolic state, leading to increased nutritional demands. Suboptimal nutritional therapy, and immobilisation or lack of exercise further worsen nutritional status. Malnutrition in hospitalised patients is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, decreased wound healing, daily functioning, substantial longer in hospital stay, and increased costs.
However, feeding patients with severe burns according to current guidelines can be a challenge.
During this workshop, both theory and practice of delivering optimal nutritional therapy in patients with burns will be covered. Current state of the evidence, including current scientific knowledge gaps, practical experiences and opportunities for the optimisation of nutritional therapy will be shared and discussed with participants.
For whom?
Any burn care professionals interested in optimising nutritional therapy in their patients.

Visual Arts in Burn Surgery
Thursday 8th of September 2022, 13.30-15.00 (Didactic session)
Friday 9th of September 2022, 08.30-10.30 (Practical session)
Why attend this workshop?
Visual arts introduce different ways of thinking and perceiving the identity and beauty of people.
The practice of visual arts, such as drawing, sculpture and photography, may be integrated into the burn reconstructive process, allowing professionals and patients to see, perceive and feel the self after injury.
The Workshop will include two parts: a didactic session reviewing the use of visual art tools in the planning of reconstructive burn surgery, and a practical charcoal studio drawing session with the guidance of art students and experienced instructors. Participants will draw a series of ‘virtual models’ with burn contractures and deformities. Through this experience we will develop our ability to burn reconstructive process.
For whom?
All burn care professionals with the desire to develop the personal visual perception of identity and beauty. No prior skill or experience is needed.
