Coeliac UK has been closely monitoring the developing coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and after careful consideration we have decided to cancel our annual Research Conference, ‘Coeliac disease; potential to refractory and everything in between’, Friday 20 March.

We have consulted the Government’s advice but have made the decision with the well-being of delegates, speakers, staff and the community in mind. As many of those attending will be healthcare professionals in contact with patients, we feel it is our responsibility to help prevent the further spread of the virus.

We are currently working on alternative ways to capture the content of the conference programme and hope it will be available online in the coming weeks.

We understand that this decision will be disappointing for many but we are grateful for your support and understanding.
