Dr. Marcus Higgins

The Dr Marcus Higgins website is a personal professional platform operated solely by Dr Marcus Higgins. It is committed to being accessible and usable for all visitors, regardless of ability or the technology they use. This statement explains the steps taken to support accessibility and how to get in touch if you experience any difficulties.

​

1. Our Commitment

This website aims to meet the standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the internationally recognised benchmark for web accessibility. We are continually working to improve the experience for all visitors.

​

2. What We Are Doing

Visual Accessibility

• High-contrast colour combinations are used throughout to support visitors with visual impairments

• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality

• Descriptive alt text is provided for images where clinically or contextually relevant

• Colour is not used as the sole means of communicating important information

​

Navigation and Structure

• Pages use a clear, logical heading structure to support screen reader navigation

• All interactive elements, including buttons, links, and forms, are keyboard-accessible

• Link text is written to be descriptive and meaningful out of context

• Navigation is consistent across all pages

​

Content Clarity

• All content is written in plain, accessible language and avoids unnecessary clinical jargon

• Sections are clearly labelled with headings to aid navigation

• Contact and enquiry forms include clearly labelled fields and helpful error guidance

​

Media

• Video content published on this site will include captions or transcripts where possible

• Content that flashes more than three times per second, which can trigger seizures in some users, is avoided

​

3. Known Limitations

While every effort is made to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, some areas are still being improved:

• Some images may not yet have full descriptive alt text — these are being updated progressively

• Embedded third-party tools (such as booking widgets or map embeds) may not be fully within our control, and their accessibility may vary

• As video content is added to the site, captions will be applied as standard going forward

​

If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please let us know.

​

4. Alternative Formats

If you need any information from this website in an alternative format — such as larger print, plain text, or a different language — please get in touch and every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate your request.

​
