New project could see more people diagnosed with coeliac disease

bs_subtitle

Coeliac UK, the national charity for people with coeliac disease, has announced the publication of an innovative project using community pharmacies to assist in finding patients with undiagnosed coeliac disease. The findings indicate that if the approach was embraced by the NHS, it could speed up diagnosis and lift low diagnosis rates by targeting those suffering the most common symptoms of coeliac disease for testing. The approach also has the potential to reach people earlier and reduce the number, and therefore, the cost of repeat GP appointments. The proof of concept project, funded by Coeliac UK, is supported by Tillotts
