To show appreciation for our NHS workers who are still risking their lives every day to save others from the COVID-19 coronavirus, a number of retailers are offering NHS discounts on food, drinks, clothes, shoes, and beauty products.
These include free hot drinks at Greggs, free parking, free bike rentals, exclusive shopping hours in supermarkets, and more.
Some of the NHS discounts listed below are new, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Others have existed for some time and require a free membership to the Health Services Discounts (HSD) scheme.
There isn’t a fee or any catch attached to this scheme, it’s more to make finding and getting discounts easier, without having to jump through hoops to prove where you work at each retailer.

Charlotte Tilbury NHS workers can save 20% on Charlotte Tilbury’s entire makeup, skincare and tools range, with the exception of bundles and other offers. Plus, order over £49 (which isn’t hard on Charlotte Tilbury) and you’ll get free delivery. The brand recently introduced Klarna, which allows you to pay in installments or pay at a later date. We’re very big fans of Charlotte Tilbury and her Magic Cream is one of the best moisturisers we’ve ever used. Not just because it helps hydrate our skin, leaving it glowing, but because it acts as a primer and provides a protective barrier against the elements.
