Winton Pharmacy
Winton Pharmacy
Winton Pharmacy was first established in 1907 by Thomas Walker, and is now owned by
Michelle and Geoff Carleton.
Michelle and Geoff originally owned Carletons Pharmacy in Otautau and in 1999 purchased Winton Pharmacy.They ran both business's until 2003, when unable to find a Pharmacist to work in Otautau,they converted it to a Depot Pharmacy and dispensed those prescriptions from Winton.
Having brought up children and lived most of their adult lives in Otautau , we have a commitment
to give as great a service as we can to the people of Western and Central Southland.
Our philosophy is simple, "treat everyone equally,and with the respect we would expect if we were the customer." A friendly face, a warm greeting, and a helpful attitude.

Geoff and Michelle Carleton...Pharmacists and owners

Since their children are now working Michelle has had more time to implement additional health services that they are now offering at the pharmacy. Michelle qualified as an independent vaccinator in 2012 and has been giving flu along with other vaccinations in the pharmacy and out in the community since then.
She has just completed an advanced diploma in Nutrition and can help you with advice in this area. Along with Geoff and Lyndon, she has also got up and running INR testing in the pharmacy (see under health services)
Geoff and Michelle will continue to look at other health services that can be of benefit to the community. Michelle has lots of interests including travel, umpiring netball, reading, pilates, sewing and knitting.....finding it hard to fit everything in.
Geoff is a trustee of the Otautau and Winton Medical centres, also a Rotarian and a keen golfer.
