What is the Lifeline telephone service?

The Lifeline telephone system enables:

  • Help to be summoned in an emergency any time of the day or night by simply pressing a button on a telephone, or on a pendant or bracelet which is worn by the user.
  • Pressing the button alerts the control station at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital who can try to gauge what the issue is and reach a chosen contact if help is required.
  • If no named supports can be contacted the emergency services can be summoned.
  • This is arranged via Sure Ltd. to whom a line rental payment is made for the service.
  • The application for the service can be made via your health or social care professional (MMH), The Connaught, GP Surgery (Island Medical Island), Age Concern, etc. or directly via Sure.

There are no age restrictions and the system is available to residents of Alderney, Guernsey and Sark.
