Accessibility statement for Grand Drive Surgery

This accessibility statement applies to this website. This website is built on the default template provided by GPsurgery.net. The practice can edit the website content. This may inadvertently introduce non-accessible content. We will always respond to and resolve any accessibility issues promptly and courteously.

This website is run by Grand Drive Surgery. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • submit a form using just a keyboard

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services.

We link to the GMS1 patient registration form hosted by the Government. This document is outside our control and consequently falls outside the scope of the accessibility regulations. We also have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By [insert date], we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
