Accessible Information Standard
All organisations providing NHS or publicly funded adult social care are legally required to fully implement and conform to the NHS England Accessible Information Standard.
This means practices must ensure that patients who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss are able to receive information that they can access and understand.
