• Change of days or hours that you provide GOS
• Change of contact details, including email, telephone number/fax number of the contractor
• Relocation of premises or adding additional premises*
• Change of Registered Office for corporate bodies
• Notification of changes of Director/Secretary/CEO in a corporate body

*If you are relocating premises, please contact them before the moving date, giving them plenty of notice to arrange a practice visit. In preparation for issuing a contract variation, all new premises must be inspected by NHS England prior to continuing to provide GOS.
