Ride-hailing company Uber is going to be offering two free trips to NHS workers who are working shifts between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
The Christmas shift is rarely a pleasant thing for anyone, let alone NHS staff who keep our health service ticking over year-round. In recognition of their service, and as a gesture of good will, Uber will offer £20-worth of rides to NHS workers on the clock between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

How to get Christmas Uber credits
Register on Uber’s website with your NHS email to confirm that you’re eligible – you’ll get your codes by December 21st.
