We usually get our pay sliips delivered to work but a few months ago some were missing and got posted to peoples homes. Those that were posted got the gold card but the rest of us didn't. From what I can gather there wasn't much of interest in it.

I work for the NHS (in Preston) and have never heard of this gold card or a discount card either. I am a member of NHS Discounts but never use it.

in preston you get given the booklet at your mandatory training days.

I wonder ow much these cards and discounts cost to arrange? personally i'd prefer a 10p pay rise

Yes they do exist, go to medicarenhs.co.uk which is a site which shows discounts for NHS and DVLA staff in their local area. It is really useful as I get discount at my Vet's, a couple of restaurants, my local butchers and many more in my town.

Watch this company!!!!M!

We signed up as a hairdressers barber shop as we give discounts to th ehospital where we live.

Cost us near on 800 quid but they lied to us telling us all NHs staff automatically got a card. We were also given them but when we tried to use them only could be used with NHs card or wage slip so absolutely useless to my staff.

Do not part with any money if Medic care ltd ask you to as they are a rip off con merchant company who are very convincing.

As an NHS worker, we often have the discussion about the discount cards which were handed out around 2005. We are all of the opinion that having followed any of the leads in there, products were significantly dearer being bought with the card. Never knew about Nandos, shame. We went there once and paid an absolute fortune for a rubbish meal.
I wouldn't bother paying for an advert to be in one of these booklets because the NHS just doesn't hand out any information to their staff.
It would be much better if there was a web based place for you to put your adverts and then people could search by region and product/ business.
That would be too easy though presumably!

The Medic Care company have a web based search, if you visit their website you can register for free and view the discounts, you search by country, region and town.
They list all their adverts on there. :T

I work within the NHS and like you I use to have a booklet but when I asked our HR dept about it they told that the NHS is going alot greener so have stopped with the NHS booklets which Medic Care use to provide for our Trust and with that they have adapted their website accordingly with the above mentioned search. They seem to promote it alot within the trust,we have posters all over the place about. We even had an open day which I believe they attended (colleague told me, I never usually bother with them) .


Worth checking out their website tho
