About us
Just 14 miles (20km) from the west coast of France and 85
miles (137km) from the south coast of England, youll find the island of
Jersey. The island is easy to get to from the UK and mainland Europe. There are
up to 40 daily flights in and out of the island.
Jerseys southerly position and sheltered proximity in the
Bay of St Malo means islanders enjoy
warm summers and mild winters. As well as the temperate weather, Jersey also
boasts the highest number of sunshine hours in the British Isles. The sea
temperature in the summer can reach 18 degrees C.
Jersey is a Crown Dependency which means its not part of
the UK but a self-governing possession of The Crown. Jersey has been a Crown
Dependency since 1290 and has its own democratically elected parliament, government,
tax system, and laws. However, the
island does have a close historic relationship with France and the UK and
relies on the UK for defence and international relations. It is also part of
the Common Travel Area (CTA) which allows British citizens to move freely
between the UK, Republic of Ireland, and the Channel Islands without a
passport.
Jersey offers extensive and quality healthcare services,
with private and state supported options available. Jersey doesnt have the
NHS, healthcare services are instead delivered by Health and Community
Services (HCS).For the first 6 months, health care services will be provided
at an added cost.
