Managing authorised representative and contact details in HPOS

How to manage your authorised representative and contact details in Health Professional Online Services (HPOS).

You need to keep your practice’s Location Specific Practice Number (LSPN) mailing address and authorised representative details up to date. This ensures only the correct people have authority to act on behalf of your practice and you receive mail from us.

To do this you must have administrator access. Make sure you also add new authorised representatives to the LSPN in HPOS. They’ll also be able to make changes online.
