He was responsible for the establishment of the electrocardiography department at Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney in 1932, while also starting the Hospital's rheumatology and diabetic clinics.

The Foundation introduced the Kempson Maddox Award in his honour in 1995. Among his publications was Schlink of Prince Alfred (1978), a history of the Hospital for fifty years up to the death of Sir Herbert Schlink in 1962. The J.
