Beginning in 1980, Dr. Webb was co-director, and then director of the Toronto Congenital Cardiac Center for Adults, the first such ACHD clinic in the world. He was the founding president of the Canadian Adult Congenital Heart Network. He was the founding president of the International Society for Adult Congenital Heart Disease. He led the first articulation and publication of clinical guidelines for adult congenital heart patients. He has edited two major texts in the field of adult congenital heart disease.

While in Cincinnati, and with the support of the Heart Institute, he established the Adult Congenital Heart Learning Center, an online source of information intended primarily for providers, but also available to patients and families.
