The orange square signifies an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which is used to notify subscribers to the feed that there is new content on a website.

RSS technology can be used for displaying news, weather, and other information that changes frequently. Many popular websites such as newspapers, technology sites, news sites, sports sites, and broadcasters use RSS technology.

RSS technology allows website visitors to be informed when a website changes. If you want to be kept up to date with the latest news, you can subscribe to an RSS news feed.

Handy Healthcare has a policy of continuous improvement and strives to make the latest products available to our customers. As a result of this, we have implemented RSS technology to allow our customers to be informed when we have added new products to our online disability aids catalogue.

For more information about RSS, please see the section below.

If you want to be kept up to date with new additions to our range of mobility products and therapy supplies, you can subscribe to an RSS feed wherever you see the orange RSS square. You can find out more information by clicking on any orange RSS square.

For Example

• To be informed when the Orthopaedic Aids category changes, navigate to the Orthopaedic Aids category, click on the orange RSS icon, and then click on the Subscribe to this feed link.
• To be notified when any category in the Mobility Aids section is updated, click on the Mobility menu, click on the orange RSS icon, and then click on the Subscribe to this feed link.

When you click on the orange RSS icon, you are able to see all the products in that category in alphabetical order. Clicking on a product title link or the green arrow will display the product details.

Once the category has been updated, you will be informed, and will be able to view the feeds that you have subscribed to.

For Example

• If you are a healthcare professional and want to know when the Specialist category has been updated, you can subscribe to the RSS feed.
• If you work in a residential or nursing home, you might want to keep up to date with Elderly Care Activities and by subscribing to the relevant feed, you can.

Only product categories can be subscribed to, rather than individual healthcare products.

There is no charge for using an RSS feed to keep informed of the latest products to be added to our online catalogue.

Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla and Safari, feature built in support for viewing RSS feeds. Using a browser based news reader means that your feeds can be viewed from any computer with a browser that supports RSS feeds.

Other browsers including Internet Explorer 6 do not support RSS and require RSS aggregator or news reader software. Aggregators or news readers download the feed to your computer, rather like an email.

There are many different news readers available and new ones are being produced all the time. Using a search engine to look for "RSS aggregator" or "RSS newsreader" will provide more information about viewing RSS feeds.

Some visually impaired people use screen reader software which reads out the contents of the web page. Screen reader software is only able to read text and can't recognise images, so the image description is used instead.

Some users have their browser set up so that it doesn't display images. This may be to save time when loading pages because they have a slow internet connection, or a slow computer.

The image description is also used in place of the image, if, for some reason, the image cannot be displayed.

Hovering over a link will provide information about what the link does. In order to keep the website easy to use, this information is hidden except when the link is hovered over.

For Example

• When you are logged in, and hover over the My Account link, you can see the options available in the My Account section, such as view previous orders and add or remove an address.
• Hovering over the Print Product Details will provide the product name so that you can make sure that you print out the product details you are interested in.

If you forget your password, navigate to the "Login" page, click on "Forgotten your password?", and enter the email address you signed up with. You will then be emailed a new password.

Once you have received your new password we advise that you visit the "My account" section to change the new password to something more memorable.

While filling in forms on our site you may well be asked to copy a "Verification Code" from an image into a text box in order to continue. In basic terms, this is so that we can be 100% sure that it is a human being submitting the request to us, and not an automatic program or "robot".

These robots are primarily responsible for filling in forms on a website, but instead of requesting real help they simply fill the comments or question box with SPAM and we are then inundated with electronic junk-mail, something we all want to do with out!
