Outside of her professional life, Emily is married with three children, and takes joy in being involved in their creative and sporting pursuits.

Dr Emily Isham

Women's Health GP
MBBS BMedSci MIPH FRACGP DRANZCOG

Dr Emily Isham is a Women's Health General Practitioner with additional qualifications in paediatrics, skin cancer medicine and public health. Her clinical interests are deeply shaped by a career built around the health of women and families.

After growing up in the Democratic Republic of Congo and completing high school in rural Victoria, Emily completed her medical training at the University of Melbourne in 2007 before making Tasmania home. She undertook training in obstetrics & gynaecology, paediatrics, a Masters of International Public Health, and finally specialised in General Practice. That breadth of experience gives her a perspective on women's health that extends well beyond the consulting room. Her connection to the DR Congo has also never faded: she founded an NGO there that continues its work today.

Emily and her husband have had five children, and that experience of family life gives her an intimate understanding of the full arc of women's reproductive health. She also knows firsthand the weight of a rare cancer diagnosis, having lost one of her sons, Ned, to the disease at the age of six, and then working with Rare Cancers Australia for a number of years. 

Outside of medicine, Emily is a long-distance trail-runner who loves music, a good book, and being outdoors with her family.
