In 1992 during his post as Senior Lecturer in Cardiology at the Westminster and Charing Cross Hospitals, he was appointed Chief of Cardiology at King Fahd Military Hospital in Jeddah where he was responsible for the creation of a new cardiac department. This proved to be an exciting challenge and culminated in a state of the art fully operational non-invasive and interventional cardiac programme.

His role involved a spectrum of activities ranging from clinical duties to post-graduate training and managerial responsibilities. He was integral in establishing the foundation of the unit, which extended from strong human resources to the establishment of Protocols, which were consistent with international standards of excellence. This was reflected in the establishment of several research projects, which led to the department presenting its work at many international conferences.

He has a large experience in teaching both undergraduates and postgraduates including cardiac catheterisation and percutaneous coronary intervention.

He recently left the NHS and is now the Clinical Director of Cardiac and Medical Health Services where he provides full cardiac investigations in Harley Street. He also has a hospital-based practice at the Cromwell Hospital west London where he performs cardiac catherisation and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.

His work at present is focused on his primary interest in interventional cardiology, which provides the platform for his on-going clinical research. He is the principal investigator of the Syrian arm of an international study of 5,000 real world (unselected) patients with coronary artery disease looking at the long-term results of the Infinnium Paclitaxel Eluting Stent (IPES) in such patients.
