Nurses and colleagues across the UK will be able to claim free lifts and meal vouchers this Christmas, as part of an annual campaign organised by Uber.
Those behind the initiative, which is in its eighth year running, said it was Uber’s way of ‘expressing heartfelt thanks’ and making NHS staff’s holiday season ‘a bit more manageable’.

The offer enables those with an official NHS email address to claim two £10 Uber rides to get to and from work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as well as a £10 Uber Eats voucher for a meal or grocery delivery.
NHS staff, and Health and Social Care (HSC) in Northern Ireland, must ensure their Uber account is linked to their official NHS email address by midnight on 20 December.
