As part of a new MBBS Curriculum at GKT Medical School, King’s College London, second year medical students undertook a clinical humanities assignment during their longitudinal GP placement. Groups of students all produced a humanities output relating to medicine and patient care in the community. This article explores the experiences from the student perspective and key learning points for subsequent cohorts, identifying four themes from the feedback obtained in a student evaluation: Broadening horizons; teamworking and leadership, wider community care involvement and seeing patients through different eyes.
