Dr Isabel Howat

Consultant Diabetologist & Endocrinologist NHS Lanarkshire

I've been a consultant in Diabetes & Endocrinology in the west of Scotland since 2010. I have a long standing interest in obesity medicine and have provided medical input to our bariatric surgery service for many years. I took on the role of secondary care clinical lead for our new regional weight management service just prior to the pandemic. Our service had a slow start due to redeployment during the pandemic but is now fully up and running. It's fair to say the pandemic was only one of a number of major challenges. Outside of work I'm passionate about keeping girls active. I'm head coach for a girl's football team and also run a community team for secondary age girls who want to play fun football but are not at a level to play competitively.
