Compliance

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:

This site may contain older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2

Non-Compliance With The Accessibility Regulations

Some images may not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

 

Disproportionate Burden

Google Maps – There’s a limit to how far you can magnify the embedded Google Map on our ‘contact us’ page. The code for this map is supplied by Google and we are unable to make amendments to it.

Preparation Of This Accessibility Statement

This statement was prepared on 01/07/2023 

Site compliance was checked using a combination of manual testing and third party tools, including:

Declaration of GP Earnings

All GP Practices are required to declare the mean earnings for GP's working to deliver NHS services to patients at each Practice.

This is for 1 full time GP and 1 part time GP who worked in the Practice for more than six months.
