Skip Navigation
There is a ‘Skip Navigation ’ (Access key ‘S’) link on every page. This link bypasses the banner and main navigation links going directly to the main content of the page. The link is invisible to graphical browsers but is usable to screenreaders.
Pages still work if CSS is disabled.
We have used style sheets (CSS) to separate the content from the layout. The content still works if style sheets are turned off or unavailable.

Image Explanations
We have used alternative text for images. This allows the image to be understood by text only browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Trust Logo
The Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust logo (Access key ‘1’) at the top right hand corner of every page is a direct link to the homepage.
Links
Every care has been taken to ensure links make sense out of context. Title attributes have been used describe the target of the link. You will be warned if clicking on a link will open a file or web page in a new browser window.
Tables
Tables have only be used for tabular data and use html to clearly describe content and headings.
