Accessibility statement

This is a translation; in case of discrepancy the Greek version prevails.

Date of statement: October 2026

Hlamidis Orthopaedics (Ι. Χλαμίδης & ΣΙΑ Ι.Κ.Ε., I. Hlamidis & Co. P.C.) is committed to making the website i-hlamidis.gr accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Many of the people we serve live with mobility or other impairments, which is why we regard accessibility as a self-evident obligation.

This statement follows the model accessibility statement under Greek Law 4591/2019 (Directive (EU) 2016/2102) and assesses the website against the harmonised standard EN 301 549 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA.

Compliance status

The website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. This means that some parts of the content do not yet fully comply, as described below under known limitations.

What we have done

• Semantic structure with headings, page regions (landmarks) and a declared page language.
• Keyboard navigation for all main elements, with a visible focus indicator.
• A ‘Skip to content’ link at the top of every page, which appears the first time you press the Tab key.
• Alternative text (alt) for content images.
• Forms with a label for every field and marking of required fields.
• Respect for your operating system’s ‘reduced motion’ setting.
• The address and telephone numbers in text on every page; the Google map loads only if you ask for it.

Accessibility tools

On every page, the accessibility button (bottom left) opens a menu with the following settings:

• Text size: from 90% to 175%.
• Colours and contrast: high contrast, dark theme, light background and greyscale.
• Highlight links and highlight headings.
• Readable font and increased spacing between lines, letters and words.
• Reading guide: a horizontal strip that follows the pointer and makes it easier to read line by line.
• Pause animations: stops animations and transition effects.
• Large cursor for the mouse.

These settings are stored only on your device (in your browser’s local storage) and are not sent to us. You can reset them at any time with the ‘Reset settings’ button. These tools complement, but do not replace, your browser settings and assistive technologies such as screen readers. See also our Cookie policy.

Known limitations

• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
• Some videos, such as older patient testimonials, do not yet have subtitles or transcripts.
• Some older images may have limited descriptions.
• Third-party content, such as the embedded Google map, is not under our control and may not be fully accessible.

We are working to fix these issues. If you need any content in an alternative format, please contact us and we will try to provide it in another way, for example by telephone.
