Website Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

The accessibility statement applies to https://oakshealthcare.gpsurgery.net/

This website is built on a default template provided by GP Surgery.net. The practice can edit the website content. This may inadvertently introduce non-accessible content. We will always respond to and resolve any accessibility issues promptly and courteously. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • use your web browser to change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • access the website using a mobile or tablet.

On sections that do not provide technical information, we have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

Compliance Status

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

  • Some PDFs are not fully accessible to screen reader software. Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs on complaint policy information. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML. 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.

Preparation of Accessibility Statement

The standard website template was last tested on 26 February 2024. The test was carried out by Emily Green, Operations Manager.

This website is based on a series of standard page templates. We tested the Home page, a standard text-based page, a standard page that includes a form, the Team page, the News page and an individual news item to ensure a representative proportion of the website was tested.
