He has held clinical appointments at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta since 2007.

At the CK Hui Heart Centre at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Dr. Lockwood is the Director of the Cardiac Rhythm Device Clinic, Director of ECG & Ambulatory Electrocardiography, and co-Director of the Arrhythmia Clinic.  Working with a team of specialized nurses, he has developed rapid referral programs for atrial fibrillation assessment & cardioversion, educational programs for patients and staff, and initiated an Arrhythmia Telemedicine program to facilitate improved patient access.

Dr. Lockwood is a Clinical Professor whose principal academic interest is in medical education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Dr. Lockwood is involved in clinical research at the CK Hui Heart Centre where he sits on the Executive Committee for of the Cardiovascular Research Program.  He is currently involved in studies of atrial fibrillation ablation, cyroablation, syncope, heart failure treatment with resynchronization therapy, and the prevention of sudden cardiac death with ICD's.

He has been an active member of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society since 2002, with prior roles as the Chair of the Trainee Committee and the Trainee Representative to the Council. He was a member of the Working Group on Standards of Training and Competency and is involved in the annual Canadian Cardiovascular Society Adult Cardiology Trainee Review Program.  He also sits on the Strategic Clinical Network Board for Arrhythmia Services in Alberta.
