He has also revolutionised service delivery in the UK for patients requiring eye injections to treat wet macular degeneration and diabetes having established with the West of England Eye Unit in Exeter the first non-medical practitioner injection service. This was then followed by Moorfields and subsequently all eye units in the UK to help cope with the demand for this service.
