The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Compliance

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to ‘the non-compliances and exemptions’ listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

This site may contain older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some images may not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

We plan to add text alternatives for all images by December 2022. and when we publish new content we’ll endeavor to make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

We are aware of a broken ARIA Menu which we are working to rectify but that should cause users very little issue. We plan to have this resolved by the 22/12/2022

Disproportionate burden

Google Maps – There’s a limit to how far you can magnify the embedded Google Map on our ‘contact us’ page. The code for this map is supplied by Google and we are unable to make amendments to it.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 07/12/2022 and was updated on 09/12/2022.

Site compliance was checked using a combination of manual testing and third party tools, including:

WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (https://wave.webaim.org/)

WebAIM Contrast Checker (https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/)

HTML_CodeSniffer (https://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/)

Recent research suggests that patients like to be asked if they would like a chaperone present when they are examined. We can provide nurses (or reception staff) for this on some occasions or you can come back to a specially booked appointment if required.

We need to know if you have problems with any of our services, often complaints and concerns can be handled informally. If necessary there is a clearly defined formal complaints procedure-details are available from the practice manager.

All patient information is held on computer. All personal information is confidential and the consent of individual patients is needed before it can be given to anyone else. We may need to share information with other professionals involved in your care who also have a legal duty to keep it confidential.

General Practice Transparency Notice

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (eg average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice

However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading. It takes no account of how much time

doctors spend working in the practice and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings nor, to make any comparison with any other practice.

The average pay for GPs working at Beaumont Park Medical Group in the last financial year was £71,417 before tax and national insurance

This is for 2 full  time GP’s and 2 part-time GP’s working at the surgery for 6 months or more.

If you would like to be part of Beaumont Park Patient Group please contact Carolyn Pearse at the surgery for further details

The practice has a zero tolerance approach and any patient who is violent, aggressive or abusive to any of our team could be removed from the practice list.
