People with disabilities sometimes find websites difficult to use because of the way they are designed and built. The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is committed to providing services that are helpful to all users, and this includes providing an accessible website.
We have built our pages to be compatible with adaptive technologies used by disabled people and we ensure that hyperlinks clearly describe where they go. Our website has been built to conform to at least the AA standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Guidance on using this website
You can use your browser to set the text size. This can normally be done via the browser's View menu (Go to 'View', choose 'text size', and select the appropriate font size, for example 'Larger').
Each page on our website includes a clear heading. Subsequent headings are introduced in a structured format.
We try to ensure that link text makes sense out of context and that it accurately describes the pages it points to. You can use the tab key on your keyboard (as well as your mouse) to move from consecutive link to link.
Some of the information on our website is in Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read PDF files. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website.
Please give us feedback on your experience of using this website. If you find something difficult to see or use, we might be able to help. We are committed to improving the accessibility of the site.
