Update: Resolved. We have internet again!

Heads up, everyone — we’re currently experiencing an internet outage at North Otago Pharmacy, so some services may be a little slower than usual this morning.

What this means:

- We may not be able to access some online systems right away
- Phones are down

We’re still open and here to help, and we’ll update you as soon as we’re back online. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding.
