SLC launches films to improve access to information

Two new Accessible Information Standard (AIS) films were launched by the University Hospitals Bristol, Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) and Sight Loss Councils (SLC) to improve access to health information.

The 16-minute film, Make AIS work, shares the experiences of blind and partially sighted people in getting health information in an accessible format, while the shorter video, A strategic perspective on the Accessible Information Standard, outlined why equality of access is so important to the trust and how it is implemented.

Bristol Sight Loss Council members Jerry Floyd, Anela Wood and Mark Stevens, assistant general manager of surgery at UHBW, starred in Make AIS work and have been involved in making AIS changes at the trust.
