This website was last tested on 28th June 2024. The test was carried out by The Health Informatics Service Web Department. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA to test how accessible forms.cht.nhs.uk is.

We used this approach to deciding on a sample of pages to test:

• Looked at all mediums used on the site for example text, images, maps, videos, forms etc
• Added at least one page per item to our sample list
• Always include the homepage
• We used Lighthouse to audit each page in the sample for accessibility issues.
• We used Wave to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
• We used Axe DevTools to test for accessibility issues on pages that do not need users to sign in.
