1% of the UK population are known to have coeliac disease, for which the only treatment is a gluten-free diet. Therefore, dietitians need to develop their knowledge and skill base in coeliac disease to provide patients with accurate and up to date advice on the diet. By the end of the course participants will have a better understanding of conditions associated with coeliac disease, the nutritional aspects of the gluten-free diet and the range of issues influencing gluten-free dietary adherence.
Dietitians who are looking to further develop their knowledge, skills and practice in coeliac disease or those who may be considering taking / or have just started working in a specialist role in this area, including setting up or running dietetic-led coeliac services, would benefit from completing this course.
It can be taken as a one-day online or interactive face to face course. Both will include lectures, case studies and workshops.
Prior to attendance on the taught session participants will have completed the online “Introduction to Coeliac Disease and it’s Management” course.
