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.
