We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact communications@nnuh.nhs.uk

Non-accessible content

The content listed is non-accessible for the following reasons:

• We have longer term plans to replace our website, which will address our accessibility issues. We are exploring a temporary solution until we can create a new website which will use newer technology and be able to address these issues.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standard.
