Pret confirmed the news in a update today and told The Sun the offer will be running until at least the end of March.
NHS workers can claim any hot drink, including teas and coffees, by showing their NHS card in any UK Pret store.
The same goes for the half price food.
Pret told us all drinks and sizes, plus all food, are included in the offer.
If you'd rather go for something cooler, cold drinks including smoothies and frappes come under the 50 per cent off part of the deal.
Pret prices vary depending on your location, but they typically charge around £1.60 for tea, or £2.20 for a regular latte.
Sandwiches and baguettes start from £2.99 on average.
We've asked if NHS staff can show their Bluelight Card to redeem their free drink or discounted food and we'll update this article when we know more.
