Christmas is an incredibly busy time for everyone, but while many of us have time off over the festive season, the same can’t be said for millions of NHS workers.

This Christmas, Uber is looking to give NHS workers a way to make their lives a little bit easier during the hectic festive season by offering up some generous freebies.

What’s on offer

Christmas is undoubtedly a busy time for everyone but “perhaps none more so than for NHS staff”, says Uber.

As a thank you from the company, this Christmas NHS staff can enjoy either a free ride to and from work or a free meal at the end of their shift from Uber Eats.

Specifically, you’ll be able to claim either:

Two £10 journeys from UberTwo £10 off vouchers from Uber Eats

The offer will run from between Monday 23 December and Friday 27 December.

How to claim

To claim the offer, NHS staff members will need to enter their NHS email address into an online form.

You’ll need to do this by 9am on Friday 20 December and it needs to be an NHS email as well in order for Uber to confirm that you qualify for the promotion.

The form consists of the following areas to fill out:

Your first nameYour surnameYour NHS email address ending in either nhs.uk or nhs.netWhether you’d like the ride discount or the Uber Eats discount

You’ll then be sent a code.
