My 2024 end-of-year parkour blog post. In 2 parts. @sarawilcox13/parkour-in-my-60s-fear-frustration-and-fun-part-1-55869810f38d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@sarawilcox13/…

It's #GlobalAccessibility #Awareness Day! To celebrate #GAAD, here’s my @NHSDigital blog describing my #livedexperience, #assistivetechnology and how be accessible to people like me #neurodiverse #neurospicy #dyslexia #autism digital.nhs.uk/blog/transform…

We've just released some updates to the NHS digital service manual to help teams meet the new WCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements. service-manual.nhs.uk/accessibility/…

We have just published job adverts for critical roles in the Transformation Directorate at @NHSEngland to lead user-centred design of national health services: Lead Service Designers: nhsdigitalweb.eploy.net/vacancies/2848… Lead Interaction Designer: jobs.digital.nhs.uk/vacancies/2970… #nhs #nhsjobs #ucd

I've written a non-work blog post. Learning parkour in my sixties: a year of classes @sarawilcox13/learning-parkour-in-my-sixties-a-year-of-classes-9a8427d5cebe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@sarawilcox13/…

Ooh, the GOV.UK home page has changed. insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2023/11/01/a-b…

@BobakChampion Aw, thanks @BobakChampion ☺️

Does parkour make me a better carer? A personal blog post. link.medium.com/GH6ENQCSZsb #caring #parkour

🆕What is inclusive design and why is it important? Read how Samuel Martin and Ellen Doyle have been leading the development of principles to help teams at NHS England design more inclusively. ➡️digital.nhs.uk/blog/design-ma…

I didn't know there was a new ISO standard for plain language. (Thanks @efnishonnudur.) Now, how to get hold of a copy? It's not cheap. iso.org/standard/78907…

@chrimesdev @livi_uk @KRYcare Good luck Adam! (Selfishly hoping you'll get a role in the NHS so we have a chance of working together again 😉)

Today is my last day at @livi_uk / @KRYcare! So I’m now open to Frontend Developer contract roles, preferably in the NHS, public sector or tech for good. LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/chrimesdev GitHub: github.com/chrimesdev

@CamillaWest Yes, I've certainly seen cases where better content would have done the job without an infographic or image.

Has anyone seen a good example of a long description (text description) for a bar chart or table, please? I've seen lots of guidance about making charts and tables accessible but I'm looking for a real, live example. Or a real example of a long description for a complex image?

@f_mclellan_web Thanks for taking the time to check. 🙏🙏

@f_mclellan_web Thanks for that. Yes, I've struggled to find much in practice.

@cjforms @janematthews Ooh, thanks a lot Caroline. I'll take a look.

@S_Wilcox @janematthews - get the slides for my Rosenfeld Media survey workshops effortmark.co.uk/surveys-that-w… - put them through the alt-text checker to see all the alt-text effortmark.co.uk/alt-text-from-… We hope the descriptions are effective but haven’t had any feedback either way

Absolutely horrified to learn that some accessibility overlay tools actively work to hide errors found by WAVE.

How important is a collaborative cross-government design community that encourages sharing thoughts, problems and solutions? For the @GOVUK Design System, it's very important. Here's how the team approached updating their contribution model: designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2023/05/31/ite…

Hi @Plusnet, can you help with my earlier tweet, please?

@Plusnet hi, how can I give feedback about someone on your team who was very helpful. Do you have a feedback form, please?

The climate crisis is a health crisis. We have published a new NHS design principle to encourage anyone who is designing digital products and services for the NHS to consider the environmental impacts of their designs. #sustainability #designprinciple #NHS
