For 29 years he was associated with the Royal Melbourne Hospital in an honorary capacity, in addition to being on the honorary staff of several other Melbourne hospitals. His research on pneumoencephalography earned him a worldwide reputation, and led to general acceptance of pneumography as a practical and essential aid to neurological diagnoses until superseded by tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Robertson's book Pneumoencephalography (1957, 2nd ed. 1967) was considered the definitive work on the subject. Other research interests included epilepsy, the grasp reflex, oligodendrogliomas, poliomyelitis, encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, and aneurysms. Robertson was a founding member of the Australian Association of Neurologists, of which he served a term as Vice-President, and of the Asian and Oceanian Association of Neurologists. A skilled photographer, Robertson published several well-received books documenting Australia's heritage buildings, particularly cast iron lacework, during the period when many of these buildings were being demolished. Sydney lace (1962) became a classic. 1927 1927 Education - MB BS, University of Melbourne 1928 1929 Career position - Medical officer, Melbourne Hospital 1930 1930 Education - Member, Royal College of Physicians, London 1930 1930 Career position - House physician, Bethlem Royal Hospital, London 1930 1930 Education - MD, University of Melbourne 1931 1934 Career position - Resident Medical Officer, National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, London 1934 1944 Career position - Honorary Physician to Outpatients, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1938 1975 Career position - Foundation Fellow, Royal Australasian College of Physicians 1944 Career position - Consulting Neurologist, Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital 1944 1953 Career position - Honorary Neurologist, Royal Children's Hospital 1944 1963?
