Technical information

NHS England is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level 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.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

We know about the following areas where the website does not meet accessibility standards and we have a plan to address each of them.

Navigable

  • "Find out more" is used as both the visible and programmatic link phrase for a link on the "Register as a New Patient" page. Links that don't adequately convey their purpose can make it difficult for people who use a screen reader to identify the direction of the link, unless they specifically backtrack and read around the link to ascertain its context. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (A). We plan to ensure the direction of all links on the website is clearly indicated.
  • Several links on the "Prescriptions" page have the visible and programmatic link phrase of "NHS website", but each of these links directs the user to a different NHS website, thus people who use a screen reader and listen to links read out to them out of context may activate the wrong link for their specific requirements. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (A). We plan to ensure that all links on a page that direct people to different pages or websites have a clear and unique link phrase.

Disproportionate burden

Meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA is not a disproportionate burden.
