During World War II he was in charge of emergency medical services in Whitchurch, Cardiff and later at Morriston Hospital. In 1943 he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps becoming a lieutenant colonel and overseeing military hospitals in India and Malaya.

In 1947 he became sole consultant physician at Morriston Hospital, providing medical coverage for 400 beds, including the casualty, general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and obstetric and gynaecology departments. He also gave cover to the neurological service until a consultant neurologist was appointed in 1966. With Cyril John Evans he helped establish the Cardiothoracic Centre at Morriston Hospital.
