Bristol Diabetes . Access

Basic Site Navigation

The basic level of navigation that is visible on most pages is the text line starting with - 'Bristol Diabetes . Access'. Links are underlined, links already visited change colour. This is near the top of the page on the left hand side and should be visible (or narrated) by all browsers.

  • Click Access or use the two key combination Alt+0 will take you to this page.
  • Click Bristol Diabetes or use the two key combination Alt+1 will take you to the Home Page.

  • If you are in one of the 9 sections of the site, Alt+2 or clicking on the section title, will take you to the section menu page. Alt+2 used on this page takes you to the section menu list.
Notes
  1. You may need to press enter as well, The two keys Alt+1 (Bristol Diabetes Home) and then press enter, for instance if you use the Internet Explorer browser.
  2. Mac users should use the Ctrl key rather than the Alt key.

To access one of sections of the site, click on the link or use the keyboard shortcuts: -
