Great Magazines is one of the UK’s largest magazine subscription services, operated by Bauer Media, covering titles across news, lifestyle, sport, music, gardening, food and more. No NHS-specific or Blue Light Card discount is currently offered, though regular promotions on subscriptions make the service worth checking before committing to full price.
Does Great Magazines offer an NHS discount?
Great Magazines does not currently offer a specific NHS or Blue Light Card discount. Regular promotions are available to all customers including discounted first issues, 99p trial offers on selected titles and occasional percentage reductions on annual subscriptions. These deals change frequently so browsing the offers section before subscribing is worthwhile.
What magazines does Great Magazines cover?
As part of Bauer Media, the catalogue includes titles across a broad range of interests. Entertainment and film are covered by Empire, one of the UK’s best-known film magazines, available in print and digital formats. Music titles include Mojo, Kerrang and Q, spanning rock, metal and mainstream pop. Women’s lifestyle titles include Grazia, Yours and Take A Break. For outdoor and nature interests, Country Walking and Modern Gardens are among the available options, and MCN (Motor Cycle News) covers motorbikes for enthusiasts.
Is a magazine subscription worth it?
Subscribing is almost always cheaper per issue than buying from a newsagent, and digital subscriptions allow reading on a phone or tablet without carrying anything extra, which suits NHS staff with irregular shift patterns. Subscriptions also make a practical gift, particularly for a colleague or family member who would read a specific title regularly through the year.
For other reading-related savings, the The Works NHS discount gives 10% off books and stationery, and the Waterstones savings page covers what is available there. A full list of NHS discounts on books and magazines is on the Books and Magazines category page, and further gift ideas are listed on the Father’s Day deals page.
