Guidelines • NICE • British Society of Gastroenterology • Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology
British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) • Annual review with blood tests • Assess symptoms • Consider referral • Osteoporosis
Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology (PCSG) • Annual review • Database and named lead • Audited annually to ensure following recorded: • Compliance with gluten free diet • Nutritional status • BMI • Osteoporosis assessment
PCSG (2) • Annual assessment tests • Disease prevention • Lifestyle advice • Vaccinations • Role of primary care team
Why is an annual review necessary? • Coeliac disease linked to other conditions • Decreases complications • Preventive medicine • Supports patient, aids adherance to diet • No QOF points for annual review
Audit standard • Patients diagnosed with coeliac disease are recommended to have an annual review, with appropriate blood tests, either in primary or secondary care.
Method • SystemOne • Went back through notes for 2 years -annual review • Used hosp letters for confirmation • Checked pathology results
Results • 52% (16pts) had secondary care FU - 81% (13pts) of these attended appt • 42% (13 pts) had no FU • 3% (1 pt) arranged own FU with GP • N/A for 1 pt, diagnosed within a year • All pts followed up in secondary care had blood tests
Implementing change • Database of patients • Letter inviting in for review • Nurses to undertake annual review: • Compliance, BMI, symptoms • Lifestyle advice • Review prescription foods • Support • Coeliac UK (templates) • Referral to GP if needed
Implementing change (2) • Guidance on prescribing • 'Gluten-free foods: a prescribing guide' • If discharged from hosp care, add to practice review list
Future considerations • Re-audit using database • Are patients having DEXA scans according to BSG guidelines? If not should they be offered in primary care? • Are patients being offered pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccine? • Use of PHQ-9?
