I would like to provide a talk at your Research Conference?
Please contact our Health Policy Lead, Alice Andrews, at research@coeliac.org.uk
Do you conduct research at Coeliac UK or do you only fund research?
I would like to present a poster at your Research Conference. How can I do this?
If there is a planned poster presentation then a call for abstracts associated with the Research Conference will be advertised on our website with instructions on how to make a submission.
Can anyone help with research?
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.
How can I have my research proposal considered for funding by Coeliac UK?
When Coeliac UK has a Research Call it will be advertised and posted on our website and across our social media platforms where you are encouraged to apply.
Outside of a Research Call, we are also interested in hearing about your research proposals as we may be able to help with extended research networks and there is often mutual benefit. We can also add your details to the Research Register we hold for coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.
If you would like to tell our Research Team about your research, then you can always complete our online form.
If I have registered as being interested in research, must I participate?
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.
Why isn’t Coeliac UK taking legal action?
In England, health policy is localised and in the last 12 months we have taken legal action where a CCG policy presented a blanket ban on gluten free prescribing. Once the results of the consultation are known we will consider next steps. The grounds for making a legal challenge may be very restricted if the implementation of change follows the law on the required consultation approach and appropriate changes in the regulations.
