Case Study: Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust boosts web accessibility from 35 to 99 with Silktide

Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust improves accessibility from 35 to 99 in 5 weeks with Silktide

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust needed to improve its website accessibility to meet legal obligations and better serve its users, but its small web team lacked the tools and understanding to efficiently identify and fix compliance issues. They turned to Silktide's website improvement platform to gain an objective understanding of their accessibility problems and guide their remediation efforts.

By implementing Silktide, the Trust was able to quickly identify and fix thousands of accessibility issues, from missing alt text to more complex navigation problems. As a result, their accessibility score on the Silktide Index dramatically improved from 35 to 99.9 in just five weeks, making them one of the top-scoring public sector organizations and enabling them to provide a much more inclusive service.
