• Objectives:
-To make a Systematic Literature Review of Guidelines for attention to Sexual/Gender Diversity in healthcare contexts
-Find and adapt general criteria to the specific characteristics of Burns Units
• Methodology
-A Systematic Literature Review of Guidelines for attention to Sexual Diversity in healthcare contexts were developed in Database and internet searchers.
–A summary of the main ideas for inclusive clinical practices, allow to drafted the basic principles for health care for people with Sexual Diversity in Burns Units contexts.
• Results
A literature search in databases (Pubmed, Psycoinfo, Weboffscience) and Internet search engines (Google, Ask, Duckduckgo), resulted in more than 6,500 references on the keywords: “sexual/gender diversity”, “hospitals”, “healthcare”. No guide was found on Burn Units. Fourteen clinical guides were selected, specific according to the criteria of: hospitals, inclusive attention to sexual diversity, clinical and social guidelines.
Suggestions based on Lund & Burgess, Cinical Care Points, to reduce health disparities with sexual diversity identity patients:
• Understand the minority stressors faced by LGTBQ+ patients and how those may affect physical and mental health. NEED: sensibilitation, learning and training
• Include assessments and verbal inclusive language, no discriminator to identify the health care system as inclusive and affirming NEED: adapte clinical records in an inclusive identity, no binary, that allows patients to indicate their pronouns and preferred names.
• Use inclusive and positive LGTBQ+ related posters/brochures/signage in the healthcare organization to signal and affirmative environment: NEED: design a campaign to facilitate confidence and safety disclose
• Conclusion
The considerable increase in the introduction of sexual diversity in clinical setting but not in Burn Units, is an issue that must be consider today in our organitations. Offering minimum contents for the creation, with a local and cultural perspective of inclusive Guides, should be an objective for the European Units in the coming years.

Dear friends and colleagues,

We will be pleased to welcome you in Turin (Italy) for the 19th European Burns Association´s Congress in 2022. Italy is honored to hold the meeting of the European Burns Association for the second time, after Verona in 1995. Turin is easily reachable from everywhere in Europe, either travelling by car, train or choosing flight connections. During the meeting, held in the renewed industrial center of the main Italian historical automotive factory (i.e. Lingotto-FIAT), we will meet international burn specialists, focusing on standards of care, progresses in burn treatment, strategies to face disaster situations, with a special attention to education of younger colleagues. However, in your spare time, you might enjoy the sweet days of Italian late summer, simply wandering in the green parks and gardens along the two rivers which cross the city, or you might decide to discover the numerous art galleries, churches, palaces, libraries, walking across elegant squares and large boulevards, passing through centuries of art and history; finally, you may choose to immerse yourself in some of the most exciting museum experiences, such as the Cinema Museum and the Turin’s Egyptian museum.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Turin for the 19th European Association´s Congress in 2022!
