A scheme, which sees post men and women check on vulnerable islanders in Jersey, could be used in America.

U.S Health delegates are visiting the island to learn more about the 'Call and Check' initiative.

It's one of just four global schemes American officials are considering introducing to the USA to help improve their health care.

Those involved in the scheme locally are happy to see it attracting international attention.

The delegation were in Southwark, London before coming to Jersey.

Jersey Post has been working with Southwark Council to launch the first inner city trial of the service.

The group will be seeing the service in action before they roll out a pilot scheme back home.
