Accessibility Statement
Introduction
This accessibility statement applies to myGP Triage, an online consultation service provided by iPlato Healthcare Ltd. The service allows patients and their carers to make digital requests to their GP surgery for assistance with medical issues, admins topics and repeat prescriptions.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use our services.
You can access myGP Triage on:
- the myGP app, on Apple iOS and Android devices
- the NHS App, on Apple iOS and Android devices
- any device with a web browser that is connected to the internet
Mobile users of the myGP app or NHS App should be able to use the built-in Apple iOS or Android accessibility settings to make some parts of the myGP app or NHS App more accessible (on phone and tablet).
This means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 200% without content spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the service using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the service using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the service using a screen reader
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
We have also tried to make text within the myGP Triage service as easy to understand as possible.
How accessible this service is
We know some parts of this service are not as accessible as they could be. We are actively working towards fixing these issues.
Right now:
- you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
- you cannot increase contrast between foreground and background colours
We are also aware of some issues related to colour contrasts that do not meet WCAG 2.2 AA requirements.

We continually test myGP services for accessibility needs with our Quality Assurance team and real users.
