Having been within the NHS structure now for nearly two decades he has a vast array of experience especially at the front door with preventing acute admissions within a hospital setting, especially those with respiratory conditions. He has successfully presented at national and international conferences and during the Covid-19 pandemic he led a Multi-Disciplinary-Innovation-Team to modify the use of a piece of kit to triple their Critical Care capacity using equipment they already had which led them to win the prestigious 2020 London Business School Innovation Award.
