Accessibility statement

Last Updated: Tuesday, 27 August 2024

The Corner Surgery abides by the Accessible Information Standard, by:

  1. Asking patients if they have any communication or information needs and how best to meet these;
  2. Recording such information clearly and accurately;
  3. Indicating any communication or information needs on the patient's records, including details of how their needs should be met;
  4. Where we have the patient's consent to do so, sharing such information with other professionals delivering NHS services or providing adult social care;
  5. Endeavouring to ensure that patients receive information in a way that is accessible and understandable, and are supported by communication.

Please inform the practice if you have any communication or information needs relating to a disability, impairment, language or sensory loss - the practice will always endeavour to accommodate your needs.

 

The Corner Surgery is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience.  We actively work to ensure that this website is accessible and usable by people of all abilities.

The following accessibility statement applies only to The Corner Surgery's website.  It does not cover:

  • Other websites operated by or for the NHS or the Department of Health
  • Other government and agency websites
  • Any other site that we link to from this website

Website conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The Corner Surgery is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria: Images of text are only used for decorative purposes. Re-authentication after a session expires does not cause loss of data. Some videos have sign language interpretation.
