Please see below for NHS 24's Notification of Change Form.

National Services Scotland

A Notification of Change (NoC) is a request made by an employee which enables a component of their working arrangement to be changed subject to approval and most of these changes will be processed through the Forms Handling Portal or an alternative form as list below.

For the best experience and to avoid processing delays, we recommend that employees complete their NoC request on the Forms Handling Portal. Each request will then be automatically passed on to the relevant authoriser, starting with the employee’s line manager. Until the NOC portal is fully launched for all changes, some requests may still require a individual paper form. For the complete list of which method to request your change please see below. 

Please note:

 - Approved changes received by HR by the 8th of the month will be processed in the same month, changes received after the 8th will be processed for the following month

 - Where there has been a line manager change, it will take 2 working days for the Forms Handling Portal to be updated with this information

For further information about the NoC process please consult the Transforming HR Services - Guidance.
