Accessibility & credits

We aim to ensure that this website can be used as effectively and easily as possible by all users.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• Skip to main content links
• Resize to the size of your window, and display a readable text size whichever device you are using
• Zoom in up to 175% without the text spilling off the screen  
• Access image descriptions, where feasible, via tooltip text labels; also, we have a subtitled version of our patient information video. 

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.
