Can I eat dextrose?

Dextrose is gluten free. It can be made from wheat but the production methods involve a high level of hydrolysation, which means that no gluten is left in the sugars. The final ingredient is gluten free and dextrose can be eaten by people with coeliac disease.

Can I get the app on any other smartphone devices?

iPhone and Android phones are by far the most popular so we have created the app for these devices. Developing the app for each device requires additional investment. However, as with all technology, the situation is constantly changing and we will be monitoring trends to assess when investment in new platforms for the app is justified.

I sent you details of a venue and it isn’t shown here?

New recommendations are added to the Guide automatically but we do have a process in place to check the venue details and it may be that we had to de-list the venue. Let us know the venue details as we can check why this might be the case.

How do I submit a new venue?

Are there any incentives for pharmacists taking part in the Community pharmacy supply of gluten-free foods scheme?

Introducing a pharmacy led supply scheme allows better stock control of gluten-free foods for pharmacists as well as providing a more flexible service to improve the patient experience.

Pharmacists and GP dispensaries are paid a service charge at six monthly intervals for each patient who accesses the service. When the scheme in Northamptonshire was introduced it was run as an Enhanced Service with funding for this element of the contract coming from Primary Care Contracting budgets.
