His interests were in morbid anatomy, haematology, bacteriology and serology. He made original contributions in these separate areas and was an acknowledged authority before they became recognised as individual specialties. Tebbutt pioneered blood grouping in Australia, including making survey of blood groups of Australian Aborigines. It was Tebbutt's discovery that the fatalities in the Bundaberg diphtheria inoculation experiment of 1928 were caused by staphylococcal contamination and not the vaccine. As Director of Pathology at the Prince Alfred and St Vincent's Hospitals in Sydney he was responsible for innovations and increased efficiency in hospital pathology practice. Tebbutt was a member of the New South Wales and Nation Blood Transfusion Services, providing essential 'back-room' services during WWII. He was active in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, being a founding Fellow and serving in several executive roles. 1905 1905 Award - Volunteer Decoration (VD) 1905 1905 Education - BA University of Sydney 1908 1908 Education - MB, University of Sydney 1909 1909 Career position - Resident Medical Officer, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital 1910 1910 Career position - Resident Pathologist, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital 1912 1912 Education - Diploma of Public Health (DPH), University of Oxford 1912 1914 Career position - Resident Pathologist, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital 1914 1919 Career position - Served with the Australian Army Medical Corps 1918 1918 Award - Distinguished Service Order (DSO) 1918 1954 Career position - Private practice as consultant pathologist 1920 1925 Career position - Senior Pathologist, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital 1925 1943 Career position - Director of Pathology, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital 1930 1938 Career position - Founding Member, Association of Physicians of Australasia 1938 1949 Career position - Councillor, Royal Australian College of Physicians 1938 1962 Career position - Foundation Fellow, Royal Australasian College of Physicians 1940 1944 Career position - Acting Honorary Secretary, Royal Australian College of Physicians c. 1943 Career position - Director of Pathology, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney 1944 1949 Career position - Treasurer, Royal Australian College of Physicians 1954 1954 Life event - Retired from private practice Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (1882 - )
