Paul Wallace, an emeritus professor of primary healthcare at UCL, believed that GPs were experts in normality and less likely to over-investigate than hospital specialists. Born to Kindertransport children who fled Nazi persecution, Wallace never felt fully at home in the UK despite his academic success. He identified as an internationalist and had a passion for Italy, where he worked and had two Italian wives. A founder member of the European Society of General Practice/Family Medicine, Wallace also founded the Foundation for Family Medicine in Palestine. His personal life greatly influenced his professional career as an innovative GP.
