My info my way
Blind and partially sighted people have a legal right to receive accessible health and care information, but too often this right is denied, creating serious risks to health and wellbeing. Find out more about our #MyInfoMyWay campaign, and how to request information in a format you can read.
Call for accessible health information in your area
In 2016 the NHS Accessible Information Standard set out how NHS and publicly funded adult social care services in England need to provide accessible information to people with communication needs, including blind and partially sighted people. A decade later, it’s time for the NHS Standard to be made mandatory and fully implemented.
Write to your NHS trust to request information in the alternative formats you need and to remind them of their responsibility to implement the Standard.
