This database will list each registered professional representative with a standardised set of information. Any preferences expressed by representatives as to whether they should be included in the database or as to whether the business address they provided should be published will cease to apply as of 3 February 2025. The preference expressed for the publication of telecommunication details (email address, telephone number and website URL) will remain valid.
As a professional representative, you are advised to check the data we have on record before February 2025. This can be done in the representative area of MyEPO Portfolio.
