SUBSCRIBE FOR ‘PEACE OF MIND’

St John provides the 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 by charges and the Subscription Scheme.

What is the St John Subscription Scheme?

As a local resident, by becoming a member of our Subscription Scheme, you will help us to provide essential ambulance services to the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
By becoming a member, you will be entitled to:

+ 5 emergency ambulance responses (regardless of age or pre-existing medical conditions); including assessment and medical treatment by a paramedic or other qualified ambulance clinicians;

+ 10 non-emergency patient transfers (under the direct instructions of a Health Care Professional where you are unfit to travel by any other means for medical treatment or a medical appointment);

+ 5 Marine ambulance response or transfer by the marine ambulance, assessment and treatment by ambulance clinicians on the Flying Christine III.

See our Terms & Conditions for more details.

Why do I need to pay for an ambulance?

The charges arise because unlike the other island emergency services, we are not fully funded by the States of Guernsey. The funding we receive from the States of Guernsey only covers a proportion of the ambulance service costs.

How long does membership last?

The subscription year and charges run for a calendar year. At the end of each year St John announces its charges and terms for the following year.

What if I don’t join?

Without a subscription, an ambulance responding to an emergency call can incur a charge of £447 (plus an extra £86 if additional paramedic skills are required), a non-emergency patient transfer booked in advance by a healthcare professional will incur a charge of up to £144.

Private Medical Insurance

You may be covered by private medical insurance. If you are please check with your insurer the level of cover for ambulance services to ensure it is enough to meet our charges. Please note that we can only invoice you directly and not your insurance company.
