FAQ

Is there a guideline on coeliac disease for Scotland?

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a guideline on the recognition, assessment and management of coeliac disease in children and adults in England and Wales in September 2015.  The British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN) in collaboration with Coeliac UK published guidelines on the diagnosis and management of coeliac disease in children in 2013. These guidelines may be applied in Scotland, as the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) who develop guidelines for the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland, have not yet produced guidelines on coeliac disease.
