This Coeliac Awareness Month, we want to highlight the importance of a medical diagnosis of coeliac disease. ​
​
Symptoms can often be mistaken, leading to delays in proper management and care.​
​
Remember, It is crucial not to remove gluten from your diet before testing. ​

We often hear that some people are advised to 'reintroduce' gluten after a while, but as coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition and not an allergy, it requires lifelong management following a diagnosis.​
​
Although we are working towards finding a cure, currently the treatment is a strict gluten free diet for life. To find out more visit: https://t.co/wPY8Ywq9At

[Department of Health @healthdpt]

‼️The Department is urging patients on waiting lists across NI to accept appts for treatment at any hospital, even if this is not the one closest to you.

From 2018, five regional elective care centres have been set up with four more announced in 2022.

These abhorrent views are an unfortunate illustration of recent survey findings. We cannot allow sexual abuse and misogyny to become normalised within the profession. Our stance is clear: doctors who abuse their positions to commit sexual assault have no place in medicine.

Great to meet with @theresa_may to discuss what tackling #modernslavery should look like globally. 🌍

(1/5) It's Coeliac Awareness Week! This year, we're highlighting the lesser-known symptoms of coeliac disease to help with diagnosis.

[Coeliac_UK @Coeliac_UK]

(1/4) Our mission is to make sure no one's life is limited by gluten. As the UK's leading charity for gluten free living, we're striving for better access to gluten free food, providing independent advice and support, and funding crucial research.

[Coeliac_UK @Coeliac_UK]

(1/3) Coeliac disease affects 1 in 100 people in the UK, but only 36% are diagnosed. This means an estimated 500,000 people are living with debilitating symptoms and long-term health risks. #CoeliacAwarenessWeek aims to reach these individuals and raise awareness.

@NHSCTStaff Hear! Hear! Backbone of the service.

[Antony Tiernan @AntonyTiernan]

On this day in 1946, Minister for Health, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, presented his NHS Bill to Parliament proposing a service 'free for all'. It launched two years later on 5 July 1948 https://t.co/7a8qysiMdy #NHS75

So many amazing women have helped me in life; some no longer with us but sorely missed. I’m so grateful to every one of you who made me laugh out loud, lifted me up when I was down, encouraged me when afraid, gave me good advice and challenged me when I was wrong #8MarchWomensDay

[Lauren Agnew @Lauren_Agnew1]

Really important we understand the #TruthaboutTrafficking when talking about the #Illegalmigrationbill. This deeply troubling messaging fails to recognise that victims of #modernslavery can often find themselves in the UK illegally (as a result of deception or coercion). 🧵 1/5

@nicmcclelland @NHSCTrust @Jacquireid6 @lucyhaugh2 @jaclyncrowe79 Brilliant news! Many congratulations. What an achievement for everyone in the trust!

[Health and Social Care Northern Ireland @HSC_NI]

🏥If you or a loved one are ready for discharge from hospital, we’re asking for your support so that we can offer better care to everyone.

🧳We can arrange for you to temporarily stay in a care home, if your care package is not ready.

👉Please speak with a nurse on your Ward.

NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to "everyone who's my age thinks the same"
No no no. We absolutely do NOT think the same.
Listen to the noise Jeremy. The crowds are chanting "shame on YOU"

[Elizabeth Brownlees @EBrownlees]

@ToalVivienne Ooooh! How exciting!
