He contributed lots of professional inputs to the development of new services in the period 2009–2010, including “Nurse & Allied Health Clinics – Respiratory Diseases” and “Integrated Discharge and Support Program”, which provided opportunities for occupational therapists and physiotherapists to develop new modes of service.
