Our Commitment

Dr. Chirag Patel's practice is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that every patient deserves equal access to information about our services, procedures, and consultation options. We actively work to meet and exceed web accessibility standards so that patients, carers, and healthcare professionals of all abilities can navigate and use our website with ease.

Standards Compliance

We conduct regular accessibility audits and address identified issues promptly to maintain WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including: • Visual impairments — blindness, low vision, colour blindness. • Hearing impairments — deafness and hard of hearing. • Motor impairments — limited use of hands, tremors. • Cognitive impairments — learning disabilities, attention deficit.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on this website — including navigation menus, forms, buttons, and links — are fully accessible via keyboard. You can navigate using: • Tab / Shift+Tab — move between interactive elements. • Enter / Space — activate buttons and links. • Arrow keys — navigate within menus and dropdowns. • Escape — close modals and overlays. Focus indicators are clearly visible so keyboard users always know which element is selected.

Screen Reader Support

Our website is built with semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to ensure compatibility with popular screen readers including: • NVDA (Windows) • JAWS (Windows) • VoiceOver (macOS / iOS) • TalkBack (Android) All images include descriptive alt text, form inputs have associated labels, and page structure is defined with proper heading hierarchy (H1–H6).

Known Issues

We are continually improving our accessibility. Currently known limitations include: • Some older PDF documents may not be fully tagged for screen reader access — we are working to remediate these. • The 3D animation sequence on the homepage may not be perceivable by all users — key information is always available in text form alongside it. If you encounter any accessibility barrier, please let us know and we will prioritise resolving it.
