Disproportionate burden

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services.
We link to the https://www.nhsinform.scot/media/2751/gmsgpr001-v5-04-2019-a.pdf 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 31/12/2022, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
Our website is provided by GPsurgery.net. Website accessibility is an essential part of providing high quality websites for NHS GP practices. GPsurgery.net reviews the accessibility of their website templates as part of their regular development cycle and will always support our practice to resolve any accessibility issues should they arise.
