	In 1958, with the strong support of the RAHC Medical Superintendent, John Fulton, Lorimer established the Children’s Medical Research Foundation. This began with Australia’s first telethon and with the ongoing support of friends and colleagues. Once Lorimer had established the Foundation, however, serving as its founding Director required more and more of his energy and time. Hence, in 1960 he resigned from his University Chair to turn his focus fully to the Children’s Medical Research Foundation.

	In 1937 Lorimer also began paediatric practice in Macquarie Street, Sydney. With the outbreak of the Second World War, however, Lorimer enlisted in the 1st Australian General Hospital, serving in the Middle East until the conclusion of the War, and achieving the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. Returning to Australia, he resumed paediatric practice, as well as beginning his academic career. D G Hamilton records:		In 1937 Lorimer also began paediatric practice in Macquarie Street, Sydney.

	<blockquote>In 1946 he became lecturer in Children’s Diseases in Sydney. He was physician to the Duke of Gloucester and his children when he was Governor-General, and was made a Member of the Victorian Order. A further overseas tour followed and he was enormously impressed by Sir James Spence in Newcastle-on-Tyne and by the American development of specialities within paediatrics. He came back and one by one took several of us young physicians aside, told us of these advances and asked us which of them we would like to develop in our hospital. The stimulating effect Lorimer had on young men was one of his greatest contributions.<ref>ibid.</ref> </blockquote>		<blockquote>In 1946 he became lecturer in Children’s Diseases in Sydney.

	<blockquote>[Paediatrics] was a new world, contrasting as it did to the far less personal one of more adult medicine. A sick child was not an isolated person but one of a family unit, the welfare of which was very much part of the management of the child himself… Despite the serious nature of the illnesses of the many of his little patients, his ward, Lower Todman, was a happy one – and there were many aspects which made it different from other wards. Parents were present for long periods, were encouraged to nurse and feed their children and to do simple tasks, all of which gave security and confidence to both the child and parent. Easy access to medical attendants, including the Professor was always available. While in the present era this may all a sound unremarkable, it was almost unique in the 1950s…</blockquote>		<blockquote>[Paediatrics] was a new world, contrasting as it did to the far less personal one of more adult medicine.
