He was appointed Programme Manager, Community Care Services with the Western Health Board where he served for seven years and Personnel Officer with the Midland Health Board for three years. He discusses the challenges he encountered as Chief Executive of Beaumont Hospital where he worked for six years until his life-changing decision to change from the public to the private sector.
