Medical treatment in Jersey
Jersey Health Scheme
The Social Security Department administers the Jersey Health Scheme. You can choose the doctor you wish to see and although you don't have to register with a particular doctor or practice, it is advisable to do so.
Unlike the National Health Service in the UK, doctors do not have service contracts with the States to provide a service to any particular patient. Each doctor can set the fee they wish to charge for the service they give. You must pay the full fee unless you have a Health Benefits card.
General Hospital
The General Hospital in Gloucester Street, St. Helier offers a wide range of general and acute services. The States ambulance service provides the Island with 24 hour emergency paramedic cover and a patient transport service caters for those needing transport to outpatient clinics as well as day centres. Telephone: .

Visitors Clinic
The Visitors Clinic (formerly known as the Morning Medical Clinic) is now being run Monday to Friday by a consortium of GP Surgeries in the St. Helier area.
The service is available to visitors or to newcomers who have been in the Island less than six months.
To make an appointment, telephone between 8:30am and 4:30pm and you will be connected to a GP Surgery who will give you an appointment and the location of the Surgery for that day. This is an all day surgery-based service on weekdays.
Services are free to UK residents and to residents of countries with a reciprocal agreement - Alderney, Australia, Austria, Barbados, France, Guernsey, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the Isle of Man. For persons from non-reciprocal countries, there will be a fee, which will be advised by the Surgery at the time of appointment.
