NHS Lanarkshire's website has been built with the intention of making the content accessible to the widest range of visitors, regardless of disability or impairment. The following accessibility features have been incorporated into the site:
Standards Compliance
The pages on this website were built in 2008 to comply with a minimum Level 1 standard as defined by the Worldwide Web Consortium (WC3/508), the international web standards body, through its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Where possible the site aims to achieve Level 2 standards for some pages.
Text Size Changer
The site allows users to increase the text size. You can find the text size changer panel at the top of every page.
Contrast
In conformance with moder website design, this site has been designed with contrast in mind actually within the page design.
Navigation aids
The navigation system has been constructed in a consistent fashion throughout the website. The additional breadcrumb navigation system is designed to reinforce awareness of the location of the page that is being viewed within the website. All pages on the website include a search box.
The Site Map displays a list of all the sub directories that make up the site and any sub directories within them. You can click on the list to take you to that part of the site.
You can return to the Hompage from anywhere in the site by clicking on the NHS Lanarkshire logo.
