In 1991, McBride attained a Research Fellowship at St Mary's Hospital Medical School and Imperial College London, where he conducted research into new drug treatments for HIV. From 1994 to 2006 he worked as an HIV Consultant within the Genitourinary Medicine service at the Royal Group Hospitals Trust.

In September 2006, the Department of Health appointed him as Northern Ireland's Chief Medical officer.[3][4] In November 2014, at the request of the then Health Minister, he was appointed as Chief Executive of Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, serving until February 2017 while continuing in his role of Chief Medical Officer (CMO).[5]
One of the many issues he has had to deal with during his time as Chief Medical Officer is the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
