Dr Julian Tudor Hart was born in London in 1927. He was educated at King Alfred and Dartington Hall schools in England, and at Pickering College, Ontario, Canada. He qualified from Queens College Cambridge and St.Georges Hospital, London, in 1952. He held junior posts at Kettering and Watford General Hospitals, and was then a general practitioner in London for five years. He returned to further junior posts at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School Hammersmith and Central Middlesex Hospitals, followed by two years in epidemiological research for the Medical Research Council, first under Sir Richard Doll, then with Prof Archie Cochrane at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at Llandough, studying pneumoconiosis. In 1961 he returned to general practice in the coal mining village of Glyncorrwg, near Port Talbot, where from 1968 onward he organised independent epidemiological research and population-oriented service innovations. From 1974 to 1992 his research team, led by his wife Mary, was supported by the MRC Epidemiology & Medical Care Unit at Northwick Park, and from 1985 to 1992 he was a paid member of MRC Scientific Staff. Since retirement he has worked from time to time as an external professor at the Wales Institute for Health Care at the University of Glamorgan, Pontypridd, and as Research Fellow at the University of Wales Swansea. He joined the Socialist Health Association (then the Socialist Medical Association) in 1946, and was its President in 1997-1999.
