Uber has announced they will be offering free ride or meal credit to NHS workers this Christmas.
To help keep the NHS and HSC on the move this Christmas in the UK, Uber has committed to giving healthcare workers two Uber rides worth up to £10 each. These rides will be available to staff with a valid NHS or HSC email address between 24th and 25th December 2024.
Uber is also giving away a food delivery of up to £10 through Uber Eats, in which NHS and HSC staff choose to order a hot meal from a local restaurant, or everyday essentials from a nearby shop, all delivered to their home or even the ward.
If you are a member of NHS or HSC staff, please see below for details on how you can get your rides and meals this Christmas.
