Accessibility

The Devon Formulary and Referral website is run by the NHS Devon Clinical Effectiveness team and Devon Referral Support Services. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • use your web browser to change colours, contrast levels and fonts.
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
  • access the website using a mobile or tablet.

Whilst every effort has been made to make this website accessible, we acknowledge that we cannot test for every combination of software or every user's needs. Therefore if you have any difficulties using this site please feel welcome to contact either the Formulary Team or Referral Team, so that we can work together to improve the site.

Change text size in your browser

Most popular web browsers feature a tool on the menu bar which lets you change the size of text on the webpages you are visiting. With this tool you can resize text on screen to a level you feel comfortable with. Where to find this tool differs slightly between browsers. You can also usually use the keyboard to increase or decrease text size quickly:

  • Ctrl key and the + (plus) key to increase text on Windows PC
  • Cmd key and the + (plus) key to increase text on a Mac
  • Ctrl key and the - (minus) key to decrease text on Windows PC
  • Cmd key and the - (minus) key to decrease text on a Mac

Please follow the guides below for your browser.
