This is an incredibly important survey that will enable us to advocate for our community and make change, so if you have any questions please email advocacy@coeliac.org.uk and one of the team will help. Please note: we are open 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and will answer your email as soon as we’re able. 

If you have trouble uploading your photos within the survey, you can email them to advocacy@coeliac.org.uk with information about which store, date, time and your unique code. 

You can complete the survey on any device, but mobile is recommended for completions as you shop instore. Select the relevant version whether you’re shopping instore Cost and availability of gluten free foods in store (smartsurvey.co.uk) or online Cost and availability of gluten free foods online (smartsurvey.co.uk) and answer the questions as you shop.  

The first time you do it you will need to set up a unique code and should take about 15 minutes for the first time you do it, but some questions only need to be answered the first time so it will get faster the more often you do it. There’s an option to upload photos within the survey and we encourage you to do this if you can as it will help us compile a comprehensive record of the environment.  

TIP : The most useful shots to enable completion of the survey are one shot of the whole fixture, and close up shots of the shelves of bread loaves, flour mixes and pasta – including the price tags on the shelf edges. You can see some examples on this page in 1. Complete our Shopping Survey​.

Members of Coeliac UK can opt in to be contacted about research and opportunities to get involved in research will be advertised on our website here: www.coeliac.org.uk/research/our-approach/recruiting-for-research

Members and non members are welcome to apply for research, but projects will have different inclusion and exclusion criteria such as: age, gender, location, length of diagnosis, etc., which may mean that some people are not suitable for particular projects. 

No, participation is always voluntary. After you have received information about a research project you are not obliged to participate and if you do consider becoming involved, you also have the right to change your mind at any time. 

Research proposals are screened by our Policy, Research and Campaigns team for their completeness.

Our Research Awards Panel comprises of experts who make recommendations for funding, either autonomously or based on the feedback of experts external to the panel and the lay Member Review Panel. The selection of proposals for funding by our Research Awards Panel, is based strictly on peer review evaluation of scientific excellence and against the criteria of our Research Strategy.

Research must underpin our top ten research priorities 

Each year Coeliac UK holds a Research Conference for healthcare professionals to provide an update on the latest research and best practice. Previously the conference was held in London but for the last few years the conference has taken place virtually as a series of pre-recorded talks. 

The talks are aimed at employees of the NHS involved in the diagnosis and/or management of patients with coeliac disease and/or gluten related conditions, plus academics, researchers or students who have an interest in coeliac disease, gluten related conditions and/or the gluten free diet. 

Each talk will have a set of CPD questions, which you can complete for a certificate for your records. 

The talks are available online for anyone to watch. Please find past recordings here: www.coeliac.org.uk/research/our-approach/research-conference/
