What we are aiming for
We want md.education to be usable by every clinician who needs it, including people who browse with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, or with colour vision differences. We work towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 at level AA.
What we have done
- Every page can be navigated by keyboard, and a skip link jumps straight to the main content.
- Landmarks and headings follow a single logical order, so a screen reader can move through a page by structure.
- Images that carry meaning have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Form fields have visible labels tied to their inputs, and errors are announced rather than shown only by colour.
- Text and interface colours are checked for contrast, and the focus outline is always visible.
- The site reflows to a single column on small screens and stays usable at 200 per cent zoom.
Where we know we fall short
Some older conference pages predate this work and may still have headings that skip a level or images with weak alternative text. Documents supplied by training providers are outside our control and may not be tagged for accessibility. We are working through these.
