    Not all of the schemes allow you to use it without an active NHS email address.  You may find that the hard copy card can be used to show for the high street deals, since the scheme can't really cancel those, but access to online discounts will be lost along with your email access. 
    Lots of NHS workers don’t have a work (NHS) email address. 
    That may no longer be the case.

    Much of the training we do is online, and all our staff have NHS email addresses to access the training. 

    I'm in Scotland and that may be different from where you are. 
    I’m in a stand alone vaccine centre and no one has NHS email addresses other than people who do other work within the NHS. We’ve all registered for training use personal email addresses.

    Completely different set-up in Scotland then. All vaccination staff have NHS email addresses, and are employed by their local NHS board. 

    The Blue Light Card requires one for some discounts. Holidays with TUI being one of them.
