This accessibility statement applies to dhuhealthcare.com and is run by DHU Healthcare.

We have developed our website with Frank Design - our appointed digital agency partner and a specialist in NHS builds.  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
  • 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)

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.

  • You cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
  • Some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
