Accessibility Statement for Sulis Hospital Bath

This accessibility statement applies to the website https://www.sulishospital.com/.

This website is run by Sulis Hospital Bath, part of the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels, and fonts using browser or device settings
• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard, with clear visibility of where your focus is
• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)
• easily interact with buttons and links on touchscreens without accidentally tapping the wrong item

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

My Computer My Way has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability and the AT Hive can help you find assistive technologies that work for you.
