He has applied his dentistry medicine, and management experience to help better serve the population. Max looks for every opportunity to implement quality improvements in patient care.
In addition to being a patient’s champion, he is an innovative senior clinical leader working across the NHS. During 2020-21 Max redeployed during the pandemic to help fight COVID-19 on many fronts: at the NHS Nightingale Hospital as an ICU doctor and training faculty member; at University College London Hospitals as a family communications team doctor in intensive care; doing clinical case work for NHS Test and Trace with NHS Professionals; and as a vaccinator at Imperial, UCLH and Chelsea and Westminster hospitals.
Max co-founded and developed three clinical services whilst a senior clinical teacher and specialist in oral surgery at King’s College Hospital: the medically complex unit; the labial gland biopsy one stop clinic; and the head and neck ultrasound guided procedure clinic. He led quality improvement on a background of cost improvement pressures.

In 2015, he was appointed Associate Medical Director at Queens Hospital in Romford and site director of the King George Hospital, where he also worked as a consultant in oral surgery at the NHS treatment centre. During that post he also led a collaborative with Barts Health NHS Trust, to develop a University Master’s Degree programme for Physician Associates (PA).
