The conference, titled ‘Coeliac disease; beyond 2020, what lies ahead?’ will reflect on some of the significant developments of the past year before delving into the future for research beyond 2021. Covid-19 has had a huge impact on diagnosis and management of coeliac disease and raised many questions around health and wellbeing for people with coeliac disease. It prompted the adoption of a no- biopsy diagnosis pathway for adults and forced dietetic clinics to rapidly transition to a digital format. This conference provides the opportunity to hear from global experts on how these developments, and more, might shape the future of coeliac disease in the years to come.

Newsletters with regular updates have continued, local group social media pages have been very active with information and support, and as always the groups’ webpages are readily available online for anyone wishing to contact them at www.coeliac.org.uk/localgroups . Now that things are beginning to open back up, for any updates on future events please refer to individual groups’ webpages and social media. Local groups are very important in their respective areas countrywide.
