Shifts when you want.
Silence when you don't.The Secure Mobile Number for NHS Locums & Agency Nurses
A dedicated UK mobile line for NHS locum doctors, agency nurses, and allied health professionals. Give agencies and ward coordinators an official number, then switch off shift calls on your rest days.
Three problems, one line
6am shift calls on your post-night recovery
Staffing agencies calling your personal phone while you sleep after a 12-hour night shift. SecondSim lets you mute agency calls with one tap without missing personal calls from family.
Personal mobile written on hospital ward whiteboards
Once your personal number ends up on handover sheets or clinic rotas, switchboards call you months later. Keep your clinical work quarantined on a dedicated business line.
Two phones weighing down scrub pockets
Carrying two handsets in your tunic or scrub pockets is clumsy, noisy, and unhygienic. SecondSim runs seamlessly as an eSIM on your existing phone with zero hardware bulk.
“I locum as an A&E registrar across three trusts. My personal phone was ringing constantly from staffing agencies at all hours. With SecondSim, my agency WhatsApp is separate. My rest days are finally peaceful.”
Live before your next handover.
Pick your plan, tap the 1-click install link, add the number to your agency profiles. Sixty seconds, no contract, cancel anytime.
