Browsing Guide

This Electronic Headquarters has been created by the Ministry of Health to enable citizens to gain access to a number of online services provided by the ministry.

This Browsing Guide explains the structure used for presenting information on this website.

Electronic Headquarters Structure

The homepage consists of:

• Common content (which is displayed on all pages of the website):
  
  
  • Header: Top margin. Displaying: Institutional logos, the office domain name, access to versions in other languages, access to the site map, access to the contact section, access to the site search engine, access to the print page function, font size selection, access to the online help section and a display showing the official date and time.
    
    
  • Main browsing menu: Left margin. Provides access to information about the Electronic Headquarters, consultation of administrative procedures, access to information about the ministry’s e-registry and access to the secure telematic notifications service. Other services and content from the Electronic Headquarters can also be accessed from here.
    
    
  • Footer: Lower margin. Displays copyright information and access to various sections of the website: the browsing guide, legal notice and accessibility information.
    
    
• Central content area: Contains the welcome message, a selection of highlighted services classified according to certain profiles for guidance, links to the 060 pre-Electronic Headquarters and Spanish Data Protection Agency websites, consultation of newsletters and gazettes published by the ministry and consultation of announcements and statements (provisions from the ministry published in the Official State Gazette (BOE)). It also contains information on web standards (CSS and WAI-AA accessibility, and XHTML language for websites).

Selecting any option from the homepage takes you to a primary level of information, which in turn might lead to further levels of information or provide links to other web addresses related to the content (always in a new window).

The Internet portal of this ministry can always be accessed by clicking the institutional logo and the Electronic Headquarters homepage can always be reached by clicking on the header text sede.msps.gob.es. The browsing path taken to the current page (breadcrumbs) is always displayed in the upper section of the content on browsed pages or web results.

The e-Office provides content and services in a number of different languages. The website can be accessed in Castilian and the co-official languages of Spain (Catalan, Galician and Basque), as well as in English and French as foreign languages. The language selection menu can be found in the upper-left section of the header. In order to view the version of the Electronic Headquarters in a language other than Castilian (the default language), users should click on the word “welcome” in the corresponding language.

Administrative Procedures provides access to the list of e-services available. In addition, access to a number of highlighted services can be gained via the Citizens, Professionals and Administration sections on the homepage (following a user profile-based classification).
