Accessibility statement for belfordmedicalpractice.nhs.uk

This accessibility statement applies to www.belfordmedicalpractice.nhs.uk, the website of Belford Medical Practice.

This website is run on behalf of Belford Medical Practice by NoticeBoardTV Ltd (SurgerySites). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader
• use the website on a phone or tablet

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

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

• some images do not yet have text alternatives for screen reader users
• some documents are provided as PDF files, which are not always accessible to screen readers

We are working through these issues and this statement will be updated as they are fixed.
