Meet Our team
Dr Emma Moffatt
Emma grew up on a grazing property at Wollomombi, near Armidale. She originally trained as a registered nurse and midwife then completed her medical degree at the University of Queensland. Dr Emma worked in far western NSW and returned to work in the New England/ Northwest. She then moved to Manilla in 2014 to complete her GP training and stayed on after obtaining her Fellowship. Dr Emma purchased the practice in 2018. She had always wanted to be a GP in a rural area and Manilla has been an ideal community for her young family.
Emma enjoys the variety and constant learning that work in general practice offers. She enjoys Hospital work in a small town and the continuity of admitting patients to hospital from the community and caring for them on discharge. She has additional skills in being a certified DAME for aviation medicine, and has special interest in women’s and children's health. She has a commitment to chronic disease management and aged care.
