About Dr Abbas Ismail

Dr Abbas Ismail is a Consultant in Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease. Please note that he currently only sees patients with osteoporosis and metabolic bone disorders.

He qualified from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School in 1989 before completing specialist training in leading centres in London, Sheffield, and Manchester. He was appointed Consultant in 2000.

Dr Ismail holds an NHS post at Stockport Hospital.  He has a long-standing academic and clinical interest in osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. Following a Wellcome Trust fellowship, he undertook large-scale European research into osteoporosis in both men and women, resulting in an MD thesis from the University of Manchester and multiple peer-reviewed publications.

In 2004, Dr Ismail established the Osteoporosis Service in Stockport and later developed a Fracture Prevention Nurse-Led Service. He currently serves as Director of the Osteoporosis Service at Stockport NHS Trust, receiving regional referrals for complex bone health cases.

His clinical leadership and research contributions have helped shape osteoporosis management pathways, particularly in fracture prevention and long-term bone health optimisation.
