Join Locate Guernsey for its virtual event series, to discover how easy it is to move to Guernsey and enjoy a better, safer life in a beautiful location.
This series will include five webinars, each featuring subject matter experts, to explore the process of relocating to Guernsey, and the many benefits of Island life, as well as delving into the subjects that are often of particular interest to prospective relocators. Each of the five webinars will be available on-demand after broadcast.
Join Locate Guernsey for its Healthcare Deep Dive, the final event in the Winter Series. Locate Guernsey recognises that healthcare is often an area of particular interest for prospective relocators, so has produced a Deep Dive to explore the local healthcare system in greater detail.
