At openmedscience.com, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to provide an inclusive online experience that allows everyone to access our content, services, and resources without barriers.
Our Commitment
We are committed to improving the accessibility and usability of our website in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide internationally recognised recommendations for making digital content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, physical and cognitive disabilities.
We aim to work towards these standards through ongoing improvements to website design, navigation, content presentation and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Measures We Have Taken
To support accessibility, Open MedScience has implemented the following measures:
- Use of clear and consistent navigation and headings
- Compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
- Keyboard navigation functionality
- Text alternatives for non-text content (e.g., images and graphics)
- Responsive design for compatibility with various devices and screen sizes
- High-contrast text and colour choices to improve readability
Ongoing Improvements
We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process. Open MedScience continues to review and improve website content, navigation and functionality to identify potential accessibility barriers and support a more inclusive user experience.
We welcome feedback from visitors who experience difficulties accessing information or using website features.

Known Accessibility Limitations
Some areas of the Open MedScience website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA requirements. Accessibility limitations may arise from older published content, third-party integrations, embedded media or the formatting of externally contributed written material.
All images and graphical materials published on Open MedScience are selected, sourced, created or commissioned exclusively by Open MedScience in accordance with its Image Use and Representation Policy.
We aim to identify and address accessibility issues as part of our ongoing website maintenance and development. Visitors are encouraged to report any difficulties so that we can investigate and make improvements where reasonably practicable.
