Starbucks is giving out a free hot drink to NHS workers this week as a small token of thanks for all the hard work they are putting in right now.
This Wednesday 15 December, any and all NHS staff are able to treat themselves to a free tall drink from the coffee chain, which has dozens of cafes across Leeds – including one near the city’s General Infirmary.
In order to claim a complimentary hot drink from Starbucks, all NHS staff members will need to do is show their NHS identity card to their barista.
And aside from it being a tall, hot drink, there are no limits on what sort of drink you can order so everything is up for grabs – whether you’re after a festive special, an iced latte, or a simple filter coffee.
As the Christmas menu has just been released, we’d be tempted to opt for a fudge brownie hot chocolate or a caramel waffle latte.
That said, there are loads more to consider too, ranging from the iced sugar cookie almond milk latte to returning favourites like the toffee nut latte, gingerbread latte and egg nog latte.
Priced for a tall drink at Starbucks range from around the £1.50 mark up to £3 and more – so depending on what they choose, NHS workers could make quite a saving on their usual coffee run.
Drinks prices, however, do vary in Leeds depending on your location.
Alex Rayner, general manager, Starbucks UK, said: “Starbucks is committed to strengthening the communities we serve in.

“As part of our ongoing partnership with NHS Charities Together we wanted to say a huge festive thank you to the NHS staff that live and work in our communities.”
“Winter is always an incredibly challenging time for the NHS – and this is one of the toughest ever – which is why ongoing public support is so important.”
Refrigerated drinks are not included in the offer. Hot drinks at Starbucks are only available for NHS staff for free today, Wednesday 15 December.
