The advantage of this instrument is stated to be “the ergonomic design of the ceiling-mounted X-ray system, which enables radiographers to access patients from all sides of the table.”[3] Residents of Guernsey, Alderney, Herm or Jethou paying Social Security contributions are covered by the Specialist Health Insurance Scheme and so may receive specialist care and treatment free of charge at the hospital.
The hospital has a 24-hour accident and emergency clinic, a physiotherapy department and a small radiography unit.
