Don’t forget to renew your Supporters Scheme subscription.

Our new subscriptions will come into effect on 1st January 2015 and will be more accurately tailored to the number of people covered. This means that we can offer more flexibility and value for money.

The St John Ambulance & Rescue Service is a private company which is contracted by the States of Guernsey to deliver an emergency road ambulance service.

The Supporters Scheme is in place because unlike the other emergency services, we are not fully funded by the States of Guernsey and rely on raising additional funds from the community to ensure that the service continues to run as efficiently as possible.

Taking out a subscription means:

• Free assessment and medical treatment by paramedics or other qualified ambulance staff

• Free transfer by emergency ambulance, in the event of an injury, serious illness, maternity or other medical conditions

• Free transfer by ambulance under the direct instructions of a Health Care Professional if you are unfit to travel by any other means for treatment or medical appointment

Without a subscription to the scheme you will be charged for all Ambulance and Rescue services.
