Web accessibility

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web (W3C - http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/accessibility.php).

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust aims to make this website accessible to those with disabilities so that they can derive the same level of benefit from it as able-bodied users.

All content on the site aims to be compliant with W3C/WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Conformance Level "Double-A".  Pages on the site are periodically reviewed and any found to have accessibility problems are fixed or removed.
