title: Tell me a story...what can paediatricians gain from reading stories?
abstract: In our first article we considered literature for and about children, and how writing for the young has changed, reflecting different and evolving perspectives on childhood. In this second article, we will be asking whether literature can be used creatively and usefully in the training of doctors. The suggestion for the topic arose from a session we organised for paediatricians in the Communication and Management Skills module of the MMedSc in Child Health at Leeds University.
