Accessible Information
Standard
The Accessible Information Standard tells
organisations how they should make sure that
disabled patients receive information in formats
that they can understand and receive appropriate
support to help them to communicate. All
organisations that provide NHS or adult social
care must follow the Accessible Information
Standard by law. The standard requires us to
make sure that people get information in
different formats if they need it, such as:
large print, braille, easy read, email etc.
Further information can be found on NHS
England’s website at:
www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/patients/accessibleinfo/
Please let the surgery know if you have any
communication or information support needs.
