Accessibility

We are always looking for ways to make our website as accessible as possible for everyone who uses it. We have taken steps to ensure that the core of this site is as accessible as possible to all.

Accessible Information Standard

Since 1st August 2016, all NHS organisations have been legally required to follow the Accessible Information Standard (AIS).

The standard aims to make sure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss are provided with information that they can easily read or understand and with support so they can communicate effectively with health and social care services.
