Could a webinar replace dietitian visits for coeliac disease?
NCT ID NCT07172555
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a pre-recorded, on-demand webinar led by dietitians to traditional one-on-one appointments for people newly diagnosed with coeliac disease. Sixty adults will be split into two groups to see if the webinar is just as effective at teaching them how to follow a strict gluten-free diet. The goal is to provide faster, more accessible support without compromising care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual dietetic first-appointment webinar
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide quicker, more accessible dietary education for newly diagnosed coeliac patients, reducing wait times and easing NHS burden.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 participants) comparing educational methods, not testing a new treatment. The webinar may not suit everyone, and long-term health outcomes are not yet measured.
