In 1987, he established the Infectious Diseases Department in Christchurch Hospital and remained there as clinical director until 2015. He built the department from a one doctor operator to a service that has trained a large proportion of New Zealand s infectious disease physicians. He was the only infectious diseases physician in the South Island for more than a decade. Chambers said it was extraordinary to be honoured by his country and the appointment made him feel emotional. The appointment reflected the work of, not just himself, but also the people he had worked with, he said.
