"For the third year, we’re offering NHS doctors, nurses and support staff a helping hand to get to and from work at Christmas time, when public transport is limited. This year, it’s fantastic to extend the offer to provide a free meal to help make those shifts a little easier."

NHS staff wanting to claim the offer can do so by visiting www.uber.com/nhs  and entering their official NHS email address before 9am on Friday 20 December.

You will then be sent codes, which you can use between 23rd and 27th of December, for up to £10 each.
