He became a Fellow of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 1926. After working for a time in infectious diseases at Belvidiere Fever Hospital , he became Glasgow's fourth Medical Officer of Health in 1925. He held this position until he retired in 1946.
In 1955 he was awarded a knighthood for services to the Health Boards in the West of Scotland.

This award was a token of appreciation for his contribution to medical links between the two countries and particularly for making wards available during the Second World War.
