There is a reciprocal health agreement with the United Kingdom.
On presenting proof of UK residence (driving licence,
NHS card, etc), free in- and out-patient treatment is available
at:
The General Hospital,
Gloucester Street,
St Helier
Telephone number: (01534) 622
000)
Morning Medical Centre,
Woodville Avenue,
St Helier
Telephone number: (01534) 616

The agreement does not cover the costs of medical
treatment at a doctor’s surgery (but there is a free GP-style
surgery most mornings in Newgate Street, St Helier), prescribed
medicines, or dental treatment, but travel by ambulance is free.
Despite the agreement, private medical insurance is advised
for UK residents on long visits in case emergency repatriation
is necessary and to cover the cost of prescribed medicines and dental
treatment. All visitors should carry the name and address of their
family doctor in case of a serious accident or illness.
