Accessibility Information
The Accessible Information Standard (AIS) is a NHS England information standard which must be implemented by all organisations that provide NHS or adult social care.
The AIS aims to ensure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss receive information that they can access and understand, for example in large print, braille or professional communication support if they need it such as a British Sign Language interpreter.
We want to get better at communicating with our patients. We want to make sure you can read and understand the information we send you. If you find it hard to read our letters or if you need someone to support you at appointments, please let us know.
We want to know if you need information in braille, large print or easy read.
We want to know if you need a British Sign Language interpreter or advocate.
We want to know if we can support you to lip-read or use a hearing aid or communication tool.
Please tell the receptionist when you arrive for your next appointment, or call us on 0208 036 6388.
You can also send us this information by completing the Accessibility Needs Form here.
This information will be recorded on your medical record in a standardised way and highlighted to ensure we have information on your communication needs.
This information could be shared with other NHS and adult social care providers if they need it.
