📢 Update for Our Dispensing Patients 🏥💊

From today, Monday 4th August 2025, we are in the process of updating our dispensing software. This is an important step in improving our service to you — but it does mean that things might look or feel slightly different at the dispensary for a little while.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we go through this transitional period. Our team is working hard to make the switch as smooth as possible, and we’re here to help if you have any questions.

Thank you for bearing with us and for your continued support! 💚
