Notes & feedback
Please note that some assistive technology tools may already make use of the alt+ [access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.
These access key assignments are based on research into best practice across the web (in an attempt to be consistent with other sites' access keys), and an understanding of the key global navigation requirements of scas.nhs.uk users.
If you have any comments on how SCAS could make better use of access keys, please contact us.
