St John is reminding islanders of the benefits of the Ambulance Subscription Scheme which provides free emergency ambulance responses, assessment and treatment by qualified clinicians for members.

St John provides the Emergency Ambulance Service on behalf of the States of Guernsey through a grant from the Committee for Health & Social Care. The grant is a contribution towards the operating costs of the service, with the remaining costs being met in a variety of ways including the subscription scheme.

The 2022 Ambulance Subscription Scheme is available online now

subscription.stjohn.gg

Charges are £55 for an adult,

£40 for a senior citizen

£25 for a child under 18.

Anyone who isn’t a member of the subscription scheme and who doesn’t have adequate health insurance will be charged on average £390 for an emergency ambulance call.

The subscription scheme runs from January to December. Renewal emails and letters for existing members have been sent out and anyone with an existing direct debit will automatically be renewed and does not need to take any action – unless their details have changed.

The ambulance subscription scheme entitles each Guernsey resident with a subscription to up to fifty free emergency ambulance responses, assessment and medical treatment and up to 10 non-emergency ambulance transfers under the direct instruction of a Health Care Professional. A top-up scheme is available at a discounted rate for anyone requiring additional journeys. There are no age limits or restriction on pre-existing medical conditions. In addition, if you are a Guernsey resident and a member of the Guernsey residents scheme you will be covered for the Flying Christine III marine ambulance. 

Anyone who is not an existing member and wishes to join the scheme will be able to do so online at subscription.stjohn.gg.

As a result of the simplified subscription model announced earlier this year, the pricing structure for the 2022 subscription scheme rates will now just be based on individuals, rather than couples or family groups.
