Accessible Information Standard – now published

The specification for the Accessible Information Standard was published on 3 July 2015 and all NHS services and publicly-funded social care services in England must implement the Standard by 31 July 2016. The specification and guidance can be found on the NHS England website http://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/patients/accessibleinfo-2/ In the September 2015 HLG newsletter which will be available soon, committee member Ruth Carlyle suggests that the Standard presents an opportunity for health librarians and knowledge service managers to demonstrate their value.’
