We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Disproportionate burden

Any accessibility issues where we have claimed disproportionate burden to rectify will be kept under review.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services.

We link to the https://www.nhsinform.scot/media/2751/gmsgpr001-v5-04-2019-a.pdf hosted by the Scottish Government. This document is outside our control and consequently falls outside the scope of the accessibility regulations.

We also have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By 31st March 2021, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Our website is provided by GPsurgery.net. Website accessibility is an essential part of providing high quality websites for NHS GP practices. GPsurgery.net reviews the accessibility of their website templates as part of their regular development cycle and will always support our practice to resolve any accessibility issues should they arise.

Preparation of this accessibility statement
