    Does anyone know if you get discount in the high street just by showing your badge?

    I was in Dorothy Perkins the other day and heard a customer asking if she can get discount as she was a teacher when the cashier said no the customer said that NHS staff can get it so why can't teachers.

    I didn't know NHS staff can do this, is this correct????

    Have used my nhs badge at Burtons a few times , but tried last week and told by the , manager that they no longer give discount to nhs staff.Asked him why and he said "they just dont".
    Think he'd just had a bad day though , grumpy !!!!!!
    The truth shall set you free.....................

    some discounts are via nhsdiscounts.com, some are through local arrangements, my trust uses redguava, but some are local incentives even in big name shops, if I dont know they do or dont, I just ask when paying. Both my local cinemas will give nhs staff student rates.

    Hi,
    I believe some NHS staff qualify for free or discounted bus travel - if you contact your admin dept, they should tell you what discounts you can get on public transport. My trust offers free bus travel,which saves me around £25 p/w :rolleyes: sorry if this has already been posted, im a newbie!

    If you are a teacher and belong to a union, they very often offer specific discounts to a union member. You get 10% off at Dorothy Perkins with my teaching union.
