🚀New to the blog! @lucysey.bsky.social, our Senior Policy & External Affairs Officer, shares insights on the refreshed Accessible Information Standard (AIS). 👉 tinyurl.com/ytnypxhj
This graphic shows a cartoon computer monitor with a webpage showing a blog title of, The Accessible Information Standard: Towards mandatory equality in practice.’  To the left of the blog title is a picture of the author, Lucy Seymour, depicting a white woman with long brown hair. Under the title reads the text, ‘The refreshed Accessible Information Standard recognises that real health equity begins with accessible, understandable information and effective communication across NHS services. For many, equitable access has long been a promise; this update is a vital step towards making it a common practice.’ The bottom right of the graphic shows the National Voices logo.
