Our commitment to accessibility
At Healthtech-1, we believe that the best technology works for everyone. We also recognise our responsibility in supporting access to the NHS. That’s why we’ve designed the registration form to be accessible.
Our commitment extends to the way we design, build and test - including seeking advice and review from external organisations representing people with accessibility needs.
