NHS Employers aims to make this site as accessible as possible for all users. This includes those who are visually impaired or have difficulties using a mouse. The design of the site uses web safe colours and accessible fonts.
We have followed the standard web navigation and listed our programmes of work on the left - our aim is to allow all users to access information within three clicks of the mouse. We have a keyword search on the right at the top of each page.
If you can't find or can't access the information you are looking for or would like to discuss a specific issue, we have provided contacts on the left-hand navigation for each page so you can contact the programme teams directly.
All of the images used in our site have been given appropriate alternative text descriptions or ALT tags as required by internationally recognised web accessibility guidelines.
The site has been designed to be accessed through in a variety of browsers.

Downloadable documents
We have used Adobe Acrobat's portable document format (pdf) for the publication of large and complex documents.
Some of the documents on our site have been scanned from the original as they pre-date the internet. These have been added to the site for reference only. If you are unable to access any of the information in the documents, please contact the relevant team (contacts are on left-hand navigation).
To view and print pdf files you'll need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download this for free from the adobe website.
